Subject: Examples needed of artists who made the leap from studio to first public art commission
I'm writing two new chapters for the second edition of The Artist's Guide to Public Art. One is in response to the question I get asked most often by artists which is how they can make the leap from a studio practice to being qualified
for public art commissions.
I know that many of you have made efforts to lower the threshold to entry by creating mentorships, opportunities for artists without commission experience, matching them with fabricators, and technical assistance for local artists. I will
certainly tell artists to look for these opportunities to help them get a leg up.
I also want to include first-hand examples of artists who have gotten their first public art commission and how they did it. Can any of you think of artists who stand out in your memory who made this leap? If so, I will follow up with
them and include their story in the book.
Thank you,
Lynn
