Hi guys, I’ve been loving his thread. But we are moving house today, so not had much time to add our input.

 

We have 2 interactive sites:

 

One for our newly installed riverside sculpture zoo complete with videos by donors, artists, and info about the animals depicted. https://zoo.creativewaco.org

 

One done by a group of high school students for all our downtown murals, sculptures and memorials. It’s basic but effective. They used a free platform to create it, which you can see if you follow the link.

https://www.creativewaco.org/public-art-map

 

They have had a LOT of use – specially as the sculpture zoo was installed right before COVID – it was a safe fun activity for families during the shutdown. We promoted through media and social media. Having a load of highschoolers promote the interactive map was really great and got more eyeballs on that that we might if we had just promoted it ourselves. It also formed the basis for a number of socially distanced tours for new students etc.

 

Great to see all the fantastic maps our colleagues across the country have created.

Happy holidays to one an all.

Fiona

Another great question, Helen, and I think this is a challenge for our public art field—making our public art works more known and accessible to the general public. How do we meet them where they are? Ages ago, I actually wrote a 2-part blog post for AFTA about ways to market a public art collection:

https://blog.americansforthearts.org/2019/05/15/12-ways-to-market-your-public-art-part-one

https://blog.americansforthearts.org/2019/05/15/12-ways-to-market-your-public-art-part-two

 

Re: Artwork Archive, making art accessible is one of our pillars. All of our users (individual artists, collections, public art programs, etc.) are looking for ways to get their artworks out into the world. Those with Artwork Archive Public Profiles use the public page (whether on our Discovery platform or embedded on their own website) use it as a place to direct people to information about the artworks—to create inbound marketing/content marketing. We've seen them share in a newsletter, on their website/blog, via social media (hashtag campaigns), from QR code labels, and working with their partners to help distribute links and information. 

 

When it comes to attracting new audiences, one advantage we've seen for our users is benefiting from our 10+ years of content and SEO. Our content, including what is posted on Discovery, comes to the top of the search list. 

 

I'm curious to hear how other programs are sharing their work especially during this isolated time when people are more on their devices rather than out and about exploring our physical world.

Hi Elysian,

 

Thank you for the shout out to Artwork Archives!  So, how are visitors driven to Artwork Archives?  If I wasn't a curator or collector, just a member of the general public interested in public places of interest, how would I find the art information?  All of our public art information is important, but this may be driving public art data to the business side, commercial markets, at the expense of the general public.

 

How do we promote public art mapping, information, and our civic purpose, to a general public?  If we can't make that case to our city managers, local schools and regional marketing commissions, how can we build programs and address cultural inequities in civic life? 

Does anyone market, or advertise beyond Public Art Review, promoting their online public art collection?

 

Joyous Solstice to all,

A great question, Helen.

 

All of the public art programs that are using Artwork Archive's Public Profile can embed it onto their website and market as they wish. All Public Profiles are also displayed and searchable on our Discovery platform, which is viewed and searched by artists, collectors and art professionals all around the world. 

 

We also share Featured profiles in our own communications including blog posts, eGuides, newsletter and social media. 

 

 

Hope everyone has a great week ahead.

 

Cheers,

Elysian

Hello Colleagues,

 

This is a terrific list, and there are many wonderful public art maps produced. It seems to me the challenge is advertising, getting traffic to a municipal site. 

How are these sites promoted within your municipality, and in your regional cultural communities?  Or, who is the audience for the map?

Hi Susan, Alex, and all-

Indeed the map was built with ArcGIS with the help of the City’s GIS team. My predecessor started the project in 2016. When I arrived we were in the final stages and with the assistance of our staff, we launched the map in 2017. Getting the map into place was a lot of work and took a village but now that it is established, we simply update it at the end of each fiscal year to add any new projects.

If you can work with the GIS team within your organization it makes the process so much easier. The public art team does not deal with the UX issues at all. We provide content and coordinates for location and the GIS team makes the magic happen on the back end.  

 

All the best,

Rebecca

Hi Susan,

 

From the looks of it, The City of Tempe example was built with ArcGIS StoryMaps – most City/County governments have a license to ArcGIS Online and will have access to StoryMaps through your GIS team.

 

It’s a lot of work to get all the assets geolocated and upload images for each asset, but once completed, it’s (mostly) straight forward to create the map. Although they’ve just updated the platform, so maybe the UX has improved.

 

Best,

Thanks, Rebecca.  I saw your map the other day and it’s one of the best I have ever seen. I aspire to something like this for San Francisco!!

Hi all –

The City of Tempe public art map can be found here: http://gis.tempe.gov/publicartmap/

 

It is easily found on the front page of our website as well as two walking maps that help guide those who want to walk through the denser parts of downtown and our lakeside.

 

Best,

Rebecca
