These all sound like great ideas and suggestions.  I really like the fact that the commissioned artist has the opportunity to pick from a pre-approved roster.  And, also about occasionally carving out small projects for people on that roster.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Hello!

In Broward County Allied Artists are paid up to $10,000. The commissioned artist selects the Allied Artist from a pre-approved roster. There is an agreement or memo of understanding executed between the two artists.

I recommend that the project manager closely monitors the relationship to insure that it’s productive for both parties. One challenge is that the Allied Artist often learns a lot about the art making side of the project and less about the business side of public art.

My personal preference is to occasionally carve out opportunities for pre-approved Allied Artists to compete for very small projects and work closely with a project manager who helps them learn public art from start to finish.

With regards,

Leslie

Also, let’s acknowledge that illustrators and their publishers deserve the same consideration, respect, and protection that we would extend to any artist whose works were (potentially) appropriated. It’s not just important to ask permission for legal butt-covering, it’s simply the right thing to do.

 

Best,

Mike

Subject: Re: "fair use" in mural design

 

Just to add to everyone else’s wise advice:

 

You need to decide how much risk you’re willing to take. It is possible that no one would ever see the mural and complain.  But it is also very likely that you could have complaints and/or objections.  In that event, you would have the option of immediately painting the mural out to avoid further conflict (assuming it's not been reproduced elsewhere and plaintiffs are willing to drop their objections) or fighting with whoever is complaining.  

 

Without more information, it seems very unlikely that you would prevail on a fair use argument based on educational use.  You might have an argument to be made based on parody or transformative use depending on the actual content of the mural.  Nevertheless, the bottom line is that you would have to be making these arguments within the context of a dispute and possibly even court . . .  where I imagine you don’t really want to be!  It would not be surprising at all to get objections from publishers and/or copyright holders if not the authors/artists themselves and this immediately puts you in a defensive position.  Not where you want to be . . . especially after paying for and installing the work!  

 

Getting permission is always the best course of action in this sort of situation, even though you may have to change the work based on whether you can secure permission (and secure it for a reasonable licensing fee). Last important point: if you ask permission and are denied but decide that you’ll use an image anyway, you open yourself up to liability for increased, punitive damages based on willful infringement.  

 

Hope this is helpful!

 

Best,

Sarah

Hello, colleagues. A local charter school -- not administered by the city -- has expressed interest in having a mural painted on the exterior of their building. Their initial design concept is to scale up an illustration from an existing, copyrighted children’s book. I’d like to determine whether not this would likely constitute legal fair use, on the grounds of it being partial (a complete illustration, but only part of the book) and arguably educational. I suggested that their artist might want to approach the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts for guidance, and I’d welcome input from the list as well.

advice on public art projects with mentorship component by Chou, Mary (07 Jun 2018 17:24 UTC)

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

Hello Mary,

Austin AIPP started LaunchPAD (Public Art Duo) last year.  It pairs emerging LOCAL artists with currently commissioned, more seasoned artists on projects with budgets over $200K.  It is meant to be a peer-to-peer relationship as much as a mentorship, allowing for both emerging and established artists to gain MORE experience in the technical aspects of a large scale public art commission.    

 

The LaunchPAD artists were selected by a 3-member panel consisting of the commissioned artist, our AIPP Panel liaison and our Arts Commission liaison. 

 

The responsibilities are defined at the onset of the project after a kick-off meeting and discussion between both artists.  The LP artist creates a work plan with several personal goals that have tasks associated with the project in service to the commissioned artist.  The work plan is a living document that can be tweaked as more or less work is needed during the process.  So far it has fared better to have the LP artist create their work plan and have ownership in the tasks they are completing—of course with oversite from a project manager and the commissioned artist.  The LP artist is paid a flat fee of $15,000 + travel for a studio visit during fabrication. 

 

Successes:

·         Several artists have reported receiving commissions outside of Austin using the knowledge learned in the LP program. 

·         Both commissioned and LP artists have reported the benefits of having additional eyes and feedback on designs and presentations. 

·         LP artists are reporting vast knowledge received in the City permitting process. 

 

Challenges:

Defining and balancing the responsibilities has been challenging.  The program is a little amorphous which is both good and hard.  It allows for the most possible growth from both artists but also sometimes can be confusing.  I think having clear expectations from the onset has been the best lesson learned so far.  Making sure both parties understand this is not an intern relationship for busy work is helpful in guiding the overall.  Having the project manager cc’d on all correspondence is helpful too in guiding the parties as to what serves the LP artist’s goals as well as the project. 

 

I’m sure I have more info I could give but those are the highlights!  Good luck and please reach out if you would like to discuss further.  The program has garnered a lot of interest from local artists as well as national public art programs wanting information!

Next year we will be adding a mentorship component to one of our mural partnerships.  Our initial thought is that we would run parallel processes to select the experienced artists and the newer artists, and we’d have to do a lot of groundwork to encourage newer artists to apply.  Then there’s the issue of making a match between the two artists, to make sure that it will be a good relationship.  Since they are all local artists (for this particular partnership), logistics are not really a major challenge for us. Re fee:  I am thinking about setting it based on an hourly rate for how many hours we expect the emerging artist to spend on the project.  Their fee is coming from a different pot of money than the fee for the commissioned artist.

We have a lot of experience mentoring emerging artists through a fellowship program that we have, so this would be essentially a more targeted version of a fellowship. At least that’s how we’re thinking of it.  We’ll see how it turns out.  Coincidentally, yesterday we just had our first artist meeting for the current year of this partnership, and since the group includes both experienced and less experienced artists—and artists with different kinds of experience—we had some initial conversations that were very exciting and confirmed to me that even without a formal program, some mentorship will be happening this year.  We encouraged them to consult each other during the process and I know they will.

No, the commissioned artists are not paid an additional fee but they do receive “free” labor.  The program is also written into the RFQ they apply for and into their contract.

We will likely increase their commission amount to cover the extra work of mentoring, and include the mentoring component in their commissioning agreement as part of their scope of work.  Not all the artists commissioned through the partnership will act as mentors—maybe only half of them.

Subject: Re: advice on public art projects with mentorship component

 

Next year we will be adding a mentorship component to one of our mural partnerships.  Our initial thought is that we would run parallel processes to select the experienced artists and the newer artists, and we’d have to do a lot of groundwork to encourage newer artists to apply.  Then there’s the issue of making a match between the two artists, to make sure that it will be a good relationship.  Since they are all local artists (for this particular partnership), logistics are not really a major challenge for us. Re fee:  I am thinking about setting it based on an hourly rate for how many hours we expect the emerging artist to spend on the project.  Their fee is coming from a different pot of money than the fee for the commissioned artist.

 

We have a lot of experience mentoring emerging artists through a fellowship program that we have, so this would be essentially a more targeted version of a fellowship. At least that’s how we’re thinking of it.  We’ll see how it turns out.  Coincidentally, yesterday we just had our first artist meeting for the current year of this partnership, and since the group includes both experienced and less experienced artists—and artists with different kinds of experience—we had some initial conversations that were very exciting and confirmed to me that even without a formal program, some mentorship will be happening this year.  We encouraged them to consult each other during the process and I know they will.

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,

What about the mentees?  Are they provided with a stipend?  Do they pay (tuition) to be part of the program?

 

This conversation about how we cultivate new artists is a very interesting one.

We will likely increase their commission amount to cover the extra work of mentoring, and include the mentoring component in their commissioning agreement as part of their scope of work.  Not all the artists commissioned through the partnership will act as mentors—maybe only half of them.

The mentees would get a stipend, yes, in our program.
