Learn from the people who commission, deliver and create public art…
Are you ready to take your public art practice to the next level?
Unlike many training programs, P.A.M. is led by practitioners actively working in the public art sector. Participants gain direct access to the professionals involved at every stage of a public art project, from commissioning and curation through to design, fabrication and delivery.
Delivered online, the program features a series of 5 weekly live presentations, discussions and Q&A sessions with industry leaders, providing practical insights into the people, processes and decision-making behind successful public art projects.
Hear directly from:
- Public Art Curators – T Projects
- Design Team – Hassell Studio
- Public Artist – Dan Elborne
- Creative Industry Specialist Lawyers – Creative Lawyers
- Public Art Fabricators – UAP
Learn about:
- How public art projects are commissioned
- What clients and selection panels are looking for
- Working with architects, consultants and project teams
- Public art contracts and legal considerations
- Budgeting and project delivery
- Fabrication and technical development
- Navigating challenges and risks
- Building a sustainable public art practice
Who is it for?
The program is suitable for:
- Emerging artists interested in public art
- Mid-career artists looking to expand into larger commissions
- Established artists seeking a deeper understanding of commissioning processes
- Curators and arts professionals working in public art and placemaking
Why participate?
Public art is about much more than creating a great concept. Success depends on understanding complex commissioning processes, stakeholder expectations, technical delivery requirements and professional practice.
The Public Art Mentoring Program provides practical industry knowledge which is not taught in formal arts education, helping artists, curators and commissioners develop the confidence and capability to pursue public art opportunities more effectively.
