Participants will learn the basic “nuts and bolts” of the field of public art. The 90-minute webinar will cover some of the unique skills required for art-making in the public realm including an overview of public art and the public realm, project examples, programs, funding, implementation and resources for further study. Two case studies will be presented which explore the experiences of two artists who have transitioned from the studio/gallery to the public realm.

The webinar is suited for administrators interested in better understanding the artists’ experience and artists exploring public art as a profession.
