Hi Rachel,

The Municipal Artists Partnerships guide that Blade of Grass has been developing in collaboration with AFTA’s Animating Democracy is now launched in beta form. You can read more about it here: http://www.abladeofgrass.org/research/

And the beta version of the guide can be found here: https://municipal-artist.org/

Description:

Municipal/Artist (M/A) partnerships are collaborations between local governments and artists that use creative processes to engage residents and improve communities. To support growing interest in these collaborations this new practical resource was created to guide municipal agency leaders, artists, and arts agency leaders to achieve positive and powerful artistic and civic results. The guide gives focus to the risks, responsibilities, and rewards that arise when artists and municipalities work together. It helps users visualize a spectrum of partnership models and projects to demonstrate the diversity of this work, and to develop a unique model for their municipality.

Explore this beta version! If you come across something that’s not working, please let us know. Send us an email to info@abladeofgrass.org

The guide features:

Models for integrating artists’ work in municipal settings
Guiding principles, values & quality practices, and reflections on common challenges and ways to approach them
Value-add and impacts of engaging artists in municipal settings
Profiles of partnerships across the U.S. that portray a spectrum of municipal-artist partnership structures and projects
Model documents, tools, and frameworks to guide planning, implementation, and evaluation
Links to multimedia examples that provide a picture of this work and the voices of partners

Subject: Guides/Sourcebooks for Artist Residencies

Dear PAN Listserv:

The Office of Public Art in Pittsburgh is currently working on developing an artist residency guide geared toward artists and project managers that will take the reader step-by-step through an artist residency in the public realm.

We are looking for any models that might be good to look at. Does anyone know of any artist residency handbooks, sourcebooks, or any other guides that might be a good example or inspirational?

Thanks a bunch!

Rachel
