“By uniting a diverse group of artists, the program has profoundly enriched my creative and strategic thinking regarding public art. The innovative and thought-provoking topics and sessions empower me to enhance my artistic practice.”

“I am so grateful to have been a part of this program. It has changed the trajectory of where my life is going by opening up new opportunities, meeting other creatives, and giving me a roadmap towards success. The mentors who were selected were very knowledgeable in their fields and gave insight I would’ve never had access to by just “googling it.”

“Prior to the program, I had very little experience and knowledge of RFPs and how much goes into acquiring a public art commission. Now that the program has ended, I am much more confident and knowledgeable of this process and I look forward to applying for/acquiring my first public art project.”
