"Public Art in Review; Volume 1" by UAP | Art in public spaces plays a distinguishing role in our country’s history and culture. It reflects and reveals our society, enhances meaning in our civic spaces, and adds uniqueness to our communities. Public art humanizes the built environment. It provides an intersection between past, present, and future; between disciplines and ideas.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Public Art in Review, Volume 1 (2019-2023.) Public Art in Review is not just a book; it's a unique journey through the world of public art. It's the culmination of years of celebration and exploration of excellence in public art, offering an engaging and accessible overview of this dynamic field. 5 years, 27 curators and over 58 artists and collectives. The book captures the past five years of the Best of Public Art initiative, supported by Artsy. Each book section will include a brief overview of the individual works reviewed by each curator, covering their origins, conceptual concerns, and public reception. Select members of the curatorium will also provide feature essays and interviews that will further elaborate on unique viewpoints and experiences, reflecting important themes and trends that have emerged through these commissioned artworks. Proceeds from book sales will be donated to non-profit organizations focusing on curatorial and arts advocacy: ICI (Independent Curators International) and National Association for the Visual Arts You can pre-order your copy now and get it delivered by September 2024. https://lnkd.in/dnsjD3bu #PublicArt #ArtBook #PublicArtinReview #ArtInReview #PreOrderNow #ThoughtLeadership

Accessibility in art refers to the design and implementation of artistic practices and spaces that ensure inclusivity for individuals with diverse abilities and backgrounds. It encompasses a commitment to breaking down barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from engaging fully in the artistic experience. This can involve considerations such as physical accessibility in exhibition spaces, providing alternative formats for visual or auditory content, and embracing inclusive practices that invite individuals of varying abilities to participate in the creation and appreciation of art. By prioritizing accessibility, the art world aims to foster an environment where everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities, can access and contribute to the rich and transformative power of artistic expression. #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #accessibility

I appreciate Alex Freeman for sharing this article about the history of non-profits arts funding. https://lnkd.in/g6sdFuD7 The funding of non-profit performing arts continues to be a challenge across the US, precisely because of the spectrum of attitudes towards the arts, "declining leisure time, slippage in middle class prosperity, and the constant pressure of new entertainment technologies..." Not to mention, it is convenient to travel to other arts destinations like New York, Santa Fe, etc--places where the communities have invested heavily into their arts identity. In most US cities and communities, we are less that one generation from seeing our cultural, visual, and performing arts disappear. You see this in the ethnic European cultural arts first. Many communities have lost their cultural identity due to lack of interest, lack of participation, or replacement by something more contemporary--like sports or competitive dance culture. The entities that continue to thrive are those who established endowments to carry them through difficult times and that have individuals and groups that are dedicated to promoting and presenting the arts.

innovative leader and strategic thinker with extensive experience in the nonprofit and public sectors
providing a signal boost for this worthy cause:
“This is an opportunity to build space for a more complete American history that reflects our diverse communities locally, regionally and nationally,” said Stephanie M. Lampkin, PhD. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is expanding its collections space thanks to a $500,000 grant from the National Park Service. To help ensure our collections tell a complete history of our shared American experience, we’re issuing an open call for collections donations. https://lnkd.in/gYt9kFX2

We share concern about changes to Arts Council England’s policies for regularly-funded organisations – new cautions about activity that is - done by individuals 'in a personal capacity' - 'overtly political or activist' - 'likely to be in breach of your funding agreement' As the Arts Council acknowledges, freedom of expression is essential for a thriving cultural sector in this country. So too is the 'arm's length principle' that ensures public money for the arts is given independently of government, allowing for pluralism and challenge. It has always been part of an artist’s job to question, disturb and be a thorn in the side of established ideas. The UK's tradition of arts funding follows an arms-length principle that is designed to interfere with that vital role as little as possible. The Charity Commission has robustly upheld charities' right to engage in political activity, even where this risks triggering controversy. We hope Arts Council England can do the same for those it funds, and be supported in this by the Government. We all benefit, as do the arts, from a more open and expressive democracy and society.
