Public Art Resources

There are many available resources for public art programs, for public art administrators and for artists who work in the realm of public art. These generally include books or website access to model Per Cent for Art Ordinances, Public Art Master Plans, guides to materials usage, policy models for accepting gifts, providing maintenance and de-accessioning artworks. This collection of public art resources begins with two excellent sources that address an overview of the public process and many of the related issues encountered when working in the field.
