Welcome!

Hello Public Art Network Member,

 

Welcome to the new monthly PAN Newsletter, your connection to what is happening in the public art field! Each month we will feature hot topics, news items, and a member spotlight highlighting a person or program that is doing great work in the field. This newsletter will be a learning platform to help you gain insight into the current issues and trends in the public art field, and to help you make the most of your membership to Americans for the Arts and the Public Art Network.

 

I look forward to helping you stay connected to the issues and trends taking place in the public art field!

 

Best, 

Patricia Walsh, Public Art Programs Manager 


topics & Trends

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (typically written in short-hand as DEI) is an ongoing, and growing topic of discussion for public art programs across the country. Broad as it is deep, DEI encompasses many questions from how are artist being selected for a project? to What artworks are in the public realm and are they appropriate? Not always easy or obvious to answer, the public art field is up to the challenge in addressing these growing concerns. Some of these issues were addressed during our first Ask An Expert virtual meeting where three public art administrators discussed this topic with 30 professionals. Topics included how to find artists of diverse backgrounds to how were DEI policies developed to how selection panels are being diversified. You can find a recording of that session here, and also check out addtional resources and examples on Cultural Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Public Art Resource Center

 

Americans for the Arts supports DEI conversations through our Statement on Cultural Equity and our Statement on the Intersection of Arts, History and Community Dialogue. Follow both links for addtional resources and information.

 

Issues discussed in this section are pulled from the PAN Listserv. Join the conversation with other members by signing up here.
