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,

Helen Lessick

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. 

Like San Diego International Airport! https://www.artworkarchive.com/blog/artwork-archive-featured-collection-san-diego-international-airport

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
