Dear Elayna and PAN Colleagus,

Seattle's Homeless Remembrance Project, http://homelessremembrance.org/tree-of-life-2/, is a fantastic example of an artist-led community project.

Artist Clark Wiegman designed and realized the main tree/leaf themed monument near Pikes Place Market. Working with homeless activists, families and th downtown community, has succeeded in creating an exemplary work of participatory and community public art.

These multi-authored works often are underrecognized due to the supporting role of the artist.

Hi All,

I’m seeking national examples of participatory public art, where Artists leads community in collaboratively making the work, or where the public is involved in creating a significant aspect or percentage of the overall work. If the projects you know of focus on plants, ecosystems, engage the public environmental conservation learning and/or activism, that’d be great too. I’m working on the “Community-Created Art” section of an ARTist in the Garden Master Plan for the Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County, in West Palm Beach, and would love to include, and of course give proper credit to, the artists, and their works.

Thank you!
