Hi Robbie,

Check out this project at Michillinda Park in Pasadena, CA. This is from my former job with Los Angeles County Arts, there was a small budget of about $6,000 and because of the funding type it had to be spent at the park. My ingenious colleague at the time worked with a poet and the result was these simple yet beautiful words of poetry etched into the sidewalk, creating a momentary reverie for the passerby.

Understanding that language is a powerful tool, the City of Oklahoma City’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs would like to ask network members about their experience using text/written word as a basis for public art.  We’d like to see examples of workwith small and large budgets and we’d love to know about artist fees for work as small as one line and as large as a paragraph.  We’re especially interested in examples in sidewalks, trails and benches or other infrastructure improvements.  Thank you.
