Types of training available:

Making It Public: a 2 day in-person intensive workshop for artists who are interested in moving their private practices into the public realm.

Co-Authoring Artworks: In this workshop, we’ll discuss artworks that require collaboration from the public. We will look at example projects, artists, and methods of relational, participatory, and interactive artworks to understand the differences and similarities between these genres. Together we will create our own artwork that engages the public as collaborators and co-authors in both the process and the project.

Bridging the Gap: Our talented staff is available to train you to facilitate your own public art meetings and projects. Connecting the Dots: Together we will uncover the opportunities for public art and placemaking that lie ahead, while building a cross-sector leadership team through a temporary art piece.

Equity Training: a one day, in-person workshop for artists and affiliated professionals who are interested in implementing equitable practices, audits, and policies in their public art collections.
