Yes, I agree with Julia!  

Other programs to check out include the Minneapolis, City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles.  Los Angeles County has the ambitious goal of placing artists in every county department and they are starting with 3 departments this year.  

There's a report about the Minneapolis program here: http://rainbowresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/creative-city-making-evaluation-report.pdf 

And a precursor AIR program report for LA County here: https://www.lacountyarts.org/article/artist-residence-mlk-hospital-evaluation-and-lessons-learned

    This is another question for the field for the second edition of The Artist's Guide to Public Art.  In the first edition I wrote about several cities that embedded artists within various departments.  I realized that for a while now I haven't heard much about that happening anywhere or remember seeing any calls-to-artists for it.  
    Has embedding artists in city departments become so commonplace that it isn't discussed much anymore, or is it being done less?  Has it morphed into something else, such as artists-in-residence in neighborhoods or within specific communities?
    I greatly appreciate any insight that anyone could provide on this.
    Thank you,
