Applying for a public art commission can be intimidating; the goal of this workshop is to demystifying the process. Regional Arts & Culture Council public art managers Peggy Kendellen and Kristin Calhoun will walk workshop participants through the process of applying for a commission from the City of Portland and Multnomah County % for Art Programs-both of which are now set at 2%. We will review key elements from successful applications, demonstrate how to develop reliable budgets and timelines, discuss the architectural issues associated with publicly funded capital construction projects, and go over common application mistakes and how to avoid them.

Presenters: RACC Public Art Managers.
