Site-Specific Commissions and Community Engagement

Community engagement, as part of the public art process, is an important topic that local artists would like to learn more about. For this session Nina Marren, Senior Program Manager of the New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program, will present on how the Department of Transportation works with the community. Her project examples will show how sites are selected for public art commissions and the methods artists employ to authentically engage the community.

Participants are encouraged to bring questions to this session.

This session will be held online via Zoom.
