Kansas City is also fortunate to have hosted a large festival called Open Spaces recently. The works were located on public property and many of the participants were artists of color. You can learn more about the Open Spaces artists at https://openspaceskc.com/exhibition/


Good luck with the project!

Hi, everyone
Still slogging through writing the second edition of The Artist's Guide to Public Art.  I'm looking for these examples to include in the book:

1)  What measures have percent-for-art programs taken to increase the number of artists-of-color that apply for and are awarded commissions?

2)  Commissions completed by artists-of-color that I could include in my book.

Thank you,
Lynn Basa
