Hi Emily,

Thanks for bringing this up. I think there is an opportunity to take the discussion further and explore strategies for equity in public art. Training on the subject may also be required.

 

Clay Lord attended the 2018 Florida Association of Public Art Professionals conference and made a presentation around equity.  Forecast has hosted some interesting events.

 

We would welcome more information and/or a session at the conference.

 

With kind regards,

Leslie

We would be very interested to hear these responses as well.

 

As the nation’s 9^th most diverse city, Aurora’s AIPP Commission and Program recently adopted and Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity statement and are now working at implementing those goals.  It is challenging, and too soon to know what will be effective and what will not.  Change takes time.

 

We would also be interested to hear from anyone with policies or language specifically addressing issues of authenticity and cultural appropriation.

 

Thank you.

Hi PAN,

 

This might be an odd question, but I wanted to see what everyone’s strategies were for adding more diversity to their public art collection, both through the artists selected and the subject matter of the works. I’m not sure if this has been a session at the conference before, but it might be a good one to do sometime.

 

Thanks for your help and suggestions!

 

Emily
