Finding a New Public Art Commission

April 5, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

For a $100,000 public art project that I am managing in Tamarac, Florida, I asked the artists to tell me how they heard about the commission.  As the submittal was through callforentry.org (CaFE), the vast majority found the project through CaFE, but PublicArtist.org is gaining ground.

I also asked the minimum public art project budget required to interest an artist.  The large majority was $50,000 and up, with 12% requiring at least a $100,000 budget.

    As an artist who participated in this survey, I am glad to see the published results. I also find it interesting that my answers coincide with the majority percentile.

    Hi Glenn,

    I’m curious who is responsible for creating PublicArtist.org – do you know?

    Thanks!

      Michelle. I know little about PublicArtist.org. Ansen Seale of San Antonio, TX, is at least one member of the team. Glenn
