What a useful art RFQ or brief needs to contain
Treat what a useful art rfq or brief needs to contain as a commissioning choice, beginning with the outcome and audience. In the festival and concert promoters commissioning visual production setting, what a useful art rfq or brief needs to contain assessment of the known site or campaign conditions and the decisions intentionally left to the artist shows whether the current participatory art & creative workshops approach is credible.

Prequalification and relevant capability checks
Before Creative Production approves the next stage, connect prequalification and relevant capability checks to the intended outcome. Review the audience and setting and the constraints that affect artistic judgement as part of the actual festival and concert promoters commissioning visual production question about prequalification and relevant capability checks, since either can alter format, method or remit. This keeps the participatory art & creative workshops response to prequalification and relevant capability checks focused on a defined problem instead of an open-ended request for decoration.
