Works of art add value to the built environment. They can transform places with added meaning, interaction, beauty, and context, creating memorable encounters for people in those spaces. Bringing an artist onto a design team can enrich both the user experience and the design process as a whole.  This course will introduce architects, landscape architects, and engineers to the value of working with artists on projects of various scales and typologies by looking at local and national examples. Through a series of case studies, attendees will learn about different project types, discuss best practices, and learn about local and national resources for public art.

CourseDescription

LearningObjectives

1. Identify successful examples of public art projects both locally and nationally.

2. Discuss different project types for public art in architecture, landscape architecture, and engineering projects.

3. Discuss best practices for artist selection, artist fees, artist contracts, and project management.

4. Utilize local and national resources for public art.

At the end of the this course, participants will be able to:

• There are currently over 350 Public Art Programs in the United States.

• There are at least 39 cities that have policies and procedures that enable public art to be included in private development.

• In addition, hundreds of communities commission artists to develop projects beyond the scope of formal public art programs.

What does an artwork budget look like?

We have an artist, we have a contract. Now what?

Sit on your hands!

Let the artists do their job to develop the concept, form, and content of the work. Be interested in collaborating, not leading the design.

Design Review Considerations

review the art?• Do you have permission?• What role will the community play?

Design Review Considerations
