Hi all,I am the arts and humanities coordinator for the City of Takoma Park in Maryland, and I will be issuing a call soon for artist-designed bike racks. If you've issued a recent call or know of one, I'd appreciate it if you would share it with me. I'm trying to anticipate all of the parameters and potential issues down the road so the call addresses them at the front end.Thanks,Brendan Smith

Hey Brendan,For what it's worth, Liz Cornish, Director of Bikemore, shared her perspective on sculptural/artwork integrated bike rack designs during this presentation from the Maryland Virtual Arts Summit last spring. The title should link to the youtube recording.Public infrastructure like signal boxes and bike racks are opportunities for creative placemaking. Artists and local experts discuss best practices and policies.I'm also excited to see what other resources and references this request might bring up.-RyanOn Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 12:03 PM Miranda Kyle <MKyle@atlbeltline.org> wrote:Hi Brendan,

Hi Brendan,
We have a number of artist designed bike racks in Sacramento. Only issue we have had was at one location where the adjacent property owner was probably not involved enough in selecting the location. They are an ice cream shop and a number of children started to use the bike racks (which had a number or interesting shapes and colors) as a playground. As you can imagine, it only takes one accident for this unpermitted use to become an issue. Ultimately, we had to remove the bike racks from that particular location.
Although the install was done before my time, lessons learned mostly were the importance of discussing these projects with adjacent property owners before they are installed. While the racks were in the public right of way, more thought should have been given (and more dialogue should have been had) with the adjacent business owner.
Hope that is helpful.
Best,
Donald

Hi Brenden,
I’ve solicited several calls for bike racks designed by artists, both at the BeltLine and here in Roswell. I’ve attached a recent call we used last year. Furthermore, you may want to read up on things like this depending on some community questions/concerns – http://bicyclesecurityadvisors.com/best-practice-guides/parking/optimal-rack/

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - CITY OF SALEM, MA CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR PUBLIC ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM by Julie Barry (22 Feb 2021 18:43 UTC)
Reply to list
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 22, 2021
FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT:
Julie Barry, Senior Planner for Arts & Culture
City of Salem | Department of Planning & Community Development
98 Washington St., 2nd Floor | Salem, MA 01970
978-619-5685 ext. 42506 | jbarry@salem.com
CITY OF SALEM, MA is pleased to announce the launch of the 2021 ARTISTS′ ROW CALL FOR CREATIVES & PUBLIC ARTISTS for the Artists’ Row Public Artist in Residence Program
Mayor Kimberley Driscoll and the Salem Public Art Commission seek Creatives to participate in the City of Salem’s newly revitalized Artists’ Row Public Artist in Residence initiative.
Artists’ Row consists of four artist ‘stalls’, a restaurant, and a public restroom and is centrally located in historic downtown Salem at 24 New Derby St., across from Old Town Hall and Derby Square. This area, at the heart of the City, was originally built as a marketplace and continues to be a thriving public plaza and pedestrian way. The City of Salem respects, values, and celebrates the diverse life experiences and unique heritages, attributes, characteristics and perspectives that make each person who they are. We believe that bringing diverse individuals together through the Arts allows us to collectively and more effectively address the issues that face our communities.
The Artists’ Row initiative is a seasonal program that provides space for artists and artisans looking to build their audience and/or arts practice through daily engagement with residents and visitors to Salem. Participation in the Artists’ Row program is envisioned as a springboard opportunity for creatives wherever they are in their career that can help take them to the next stage/level in their unique professional development journey. It is very much a shared space for artists and visitors alike, where creativity happens, and unique arts-related goods and activities can be experienced in an animated public place.
The City of Salem is currently looking to fill one (1) paid position for a Public Artists in Residence, lasting for a term of 8 months. The City is interested in uses that will contribute to the vibrancy of the Artists’ Row community and this important gateway to Salem’s bustling downtown. The variety of activities/uses considered for Artists’ Row spaces include, but are not limited to, original uniquely produced or handcrafted artworks and products, performances, art ‘happenings’, art ‘interventions’, art making, and temporary public art installations.

Hello,
We hope you are all finding warmth, both figuratively and literally, as cold weather and snow travels throughout the United States.
A few weeks ago, many Asian identifying individuals celebrated Lunar New Year, a time where families and communities celebrate unity, prosperity, life, and joy. This year felt different, as anti-Asian hate crimes have increased in the United States since the start of the pandemic, with minimal media attention to the harm being caused. Asian influencers and celebrities are speaking out against the violence, prejudice and discrimination, but what can we as arts workers do to continue to support, project, and create safe spaces for Asian/Asian-American communities?
Learn about the harm caused, through journal articles, social media posts, and Asian American news.
Practice and learn bystander intervention and sign up for trainings through Hollaback! and Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
Support Asian communities through organizing groups such as Asian American Feminist Collective, advocacy group such as Asian American Advocacy Fund, and Asian owned businesses such as Lunar and Omsom.
Donate to or participate with Asian arts and nonprofit organizations such as Asian American Arts Alliance, Asian Arts Initiative, and Seeding Change (just to name a few). What organizations exist in your community?
Take an intentional step towards practicing anti-racism through advocacy and justice for Asian American communities.
In other news:
With increased awareness and attention towards active anti-racism, trainers and workers who specialize in speaking to people about race reflect upon their practices and its impacts.
Anti-racism trainers were ready for this moment. Is everyone else?
