I am less than 30 days on the job here at the Cultural Council. While I have tremendous experience in arts administration, my knowledge about public art administration is very limited. I need the help of this network - I don't know what I don't know! My starter questions are:

1. Who among you represent NPO's that administer public art on behalf of a municipality? Would you be willing to talk with me and/or point me in the direction of best practices relative to the NPO-Municipal relationship;

2. Can anyone recommend public art consultants who can assist with: project management ($800K +/- budget) and process/procedure development of a public art program; and

3. Can anyone provide a sample RFP for seeking such a consultant?

I can be reached at the contact information below.

Thank you.
