Sorry, Marjorie, but we don’t have any statistics like that and I would be surprised if anyone did.  The answer to that question is highly dependent on the quality of the artist’s work, and how appropriate it is perceived to be for public art projects.  Certainly, as an artist becomes more seasoned professionally in a variety arenas they are more likely to be selected, but that said we have artists who get commissions on their first application and others that, quite frankly, are unlikely to ever be selected.

Hi All,

I would like to give some of our less seasoned artists statistics on how many applications it might take them until they receive a commission. 

Does anyone have numbers on this?

THANK YOU!
