Linda, 
To eliminate travel costs for finalists, we have been doing virtual interviews.  Don't worry too much.  Zoom, Google Meet, etc.    Pre-COVID for fairness, the local artists do virtual interviews also.  

We give control to the artist to make a presentation from their studio.  Problem arises during the deliberations and you don't have images that the artist showed.  Ask the artist to send you the presentation.  

For the recording, we set up unique zoom sessions for each artist and then a session for the deliberation.  Everyone leaves and then joins a new meeting.

I am moving forward full-steam ahead with our Art-in-Architecture Program and posting calls. Reviewing semi-finalist portfolios for selection is fairly easy to conduct remotely with the Committee.

 

However, I am going to need to have a finalist selection meeting before our state’s stay-at-home order is lifted. Our finalist meetings have always in person. I work to make artists as comfortable as possible during the presentation process. Because no matter how long an artist has been doing them, the presentation process can be intimidating.

 

Because of varying technical abilities with presenters and participants, I find remote presentations difficult. But the construction project is moving ahead and the art project must move with it.

 

Fortunately, this Committee for my first remote selection is very thoughtful, articulate, and accommodating.  That will help a lot. Any advice for how to conduct a selection committee meeting remotely?  Techniques? Ideas? Experiences?

 

Many thanks.
