Dear Public Art Colleagues,

I am interested in hearing from administrators who have managed - and artists who have participated in - public art projects that involve a mentorship component – pairing a more experienced artist in public art, with an artist(s) who is new to public art.

- How were the artists (both experienced and emerging) selected and paired?

- How were the responsibilities between the artists defined/structured? Was this set by the commissioning agency, or through conversation between the artists?  What was the breakdown of the artist fee?

- What were some challenges (lessons learned) and successes from these projects?

Thanks in advance for your help!  And I will share out the information I collect with those who are interested – just let me know.

Best,

Mary
