Friday, June 26, 2015 @ 10:45am - 12:15pm
Percent for the arts and other funding sources have made public art a booming market for artists who are prepared to participate. Because they are accustomed to working with clients on complex projects, furniture makers are well-suited to participate in public art programs. This panel will discuss how to identify opportunities; and how to compete successfully for public art projects, comply with requirements, negotiate contracts, and avoid pitfalls.
Moderator/panelist: Craig Nutt, a sculptor, furniture maker, and public artist, his work is in numerous public collections including the Smithsonian’s American Art Museum and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He was recently commissioned by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission to create a public art work commemorating the 2010 Nashville flood as part of its Watermarks program.
Panelist Toni Sikes, CEO, CodaWorx, a global online community that celebrates commissioned art works.
Panelist Constance Y. White, Vice President for Public Art, Art and Science Council, Charlotte, NC. Former Art Program Manager, San Diego Regional Airport Authority.
