Cities, counties, and state agencies — finally a system built for the way you actually work.
Spreadsheets. Filing cabinets. Institutional memory that walks out the door when someone retires. No chain of custody. No way to verify authenticity. No audit trail. No way to know where anything is.
When the auditor asks for your public art inventory, what do you hand them? Art Trackers gives you the answer.
Every public artwork in your jurisdiction — registered, searchable, and verifiable in one place. No more spreadsheets.
Track every piece by city, site, floor, and room. Update when art moves. Full location history always preserved.
Audit-ready documentation, provenance records, and ownership history. Built for government reporting requirements.
Complete chain of custody from creation to today. Who commissioned it, who created it, who owns it, when it moved.
Administrators, field staff, departments, and contractors — everyone gets the right level of access, nothing more.
Field staff tap any NFC-tagged artwork with their phone and instantly pull the full record. No special equipment needed.
"Government agencies are stewards of public art on behalf of their communities. Art Trackers gives you the tools to do that job — completely and transparently."
Art Trackers supports a wide range of government bodies and public institutions — wherever public art lives and needs to be accounted for.
Public art programs, civic art collections, and Percent for Art initiatives.
Artworks distributed across branches and campuses — tracked in one place.
Art installed in stations, terminals, corridors, and public right of way.
Municipal offices, courthouses, and public facilities with art distributed across sites.
Spreadsheets and shared drives often work initially — but become fragile as collections grow and oversight expectations increase.
Art Trackers supports continuity through staff changes, reduces administrative burden during audits, and preserves the historical integrity of records — without changing how your agency operates.
This clarity helps agencies avoid scope creep and procurement risk.
Six core capabilities designed around how government art programs actually work.
A single, authoritative inventory of all agency-owned artworks — searchable, filterable, and always up to date.
Artist, medium, dimensions, creation date, acquisition details, condition, and location — all in one structured record.
Clear distinction between legal ownership and physical location, with complete historical tracking of every transfer.
Append-only condition reporting over time — no silent overwrites. Every assessment preserved in the permanent record.
Tracking of relocations, loans, storage, and temporary installations — with a complete location timeline for every piece.
Exportable reports for audits, insurance documentation, and compliance reviews — ready when you need them.
Optional: NFC or QR tags for on-site identification — physical tagging is not required to use the platform.
Documentation only — no custody, no financial handling.
Append-only histories and activity logs — nothing is silently changed.
Role-based access controls — staff see only what they need to.
Consistent with institutional best practices across the public sector.
Agencies commonly request Art Trackers materials to support internal evaluations, audit readiness reviews, budget planning, and RFP development.
