Often times with public art, a call for bids is sent out, and anybody can bid on the project (there are trade agreements in place to allow this). If nobody local bids on the project, or the best and/or most cost-efficient bid comes from a non-local bidder, then that's the way it goes. This occurrence frequently gets forgotten/overlooked amongst the public art discussion.
