not what stands, but who commissioned it, by what vote, fund or gift. The objects first, at pointer, because process attaches to them: the 1947 Woodlawn memorial, erected by the Mothers of World War II, Walkerton Unit 140; the Harold C. Urey birthplace marker at Roosevelt Road and Illinois Street, erected by American Legion Post 189; and Veterans Park at Roosevelt Road and Washington Street, which the town's own site records the Town of Walkerton constructed, with a monument and engraved bricks sold to carry names under a named town contact (all banked, Wars). Run against those three, the process record divides. The two memorial objects run on the era's associational process — a mothers' unit and a Legion post commissioning, funding and erecting on their own authority and subscription, no town commission, competition, percent-for-art rule or jury anywhere in their record — and that is their process, printed as found: civic art by voluntary association, the same channel as article #203's source five. Veterans Park is the one municipal object, and its documented process is municipal and commercial at once: the town built it, and the public bought it brick by named brick — a sale of engraved bricks as the funding mechanism, stated on the town's own site. What no source reached documents is a program: no public-art ordinance, commission, plan, call for artists, or town-council minute appropriating for art as art was found in the town record reached for this section, and the Urey marker's own commissioning file — Post 189's minutes, the marker's funder, its dedication — is not in the record reached beyond the erection fact itself, which the W-11 addendum banks. Verdict: Walkerton's public art has makers and funders but no program; its process, where documented, is associational subscription and, once, a town building funded by sold bricks — and the commission/minutes record that would upgrade that verdict is named as settler.
Closure: MIXED — the associational and municipal-brick processes are DUG at the strengths stated; a formal program record is a NAMED GAP, settler: the Walkerton Town Council minutes and the Post 189 post records, read for commissioning votes and dedications.
