SUMMARY:Applying for Public Art Opportunities with Estrella Esquilín
DESCRIPTION:Applications for public art commissions are always a welcome topic for artists. Beyond the usual questions about application preparation\, many applicants for public art projects want to know specifics about how to make their materials standout to win jobs. \nJoin visual artist and independent cultural strategist Estrella Esquilín\, as she expertly navigates the process of applying for public art opportunities\, while also offering strategies to: improve your application for more substantial projects; refine your project self-selection process; and acquire invaluable tips for strengthening your cover letters and artist statements. \nThis session will be held online from 4:00 PM – 5:45 PM ET. \nEsquilín’s presentation will be followed by an interactive workshop engaging session participants. \nThe questions that will serve as the framework for the guest speaker’s presentation are:\n\nHow can rookie artists showcase their ability in an application to take on “bigger” public art projects (essentially\, leveling up)?\nHow can artists improve their own self-selection processes before applying to a project?\nWhat are 3 – 5 main tips cultural workers and artists can use to improve their cover letters and statements?\nHow can artists select their best work samples?\nHow can artists demonstrate the importance of professional experience outside of the art world as useful for public art commissions?\n\nSession Format\n\nIntroduction\nSpeaker Presentation & Audience Questions\nInteractive Workshop\nConclusion\n\nWorkshop\nParticipants will be divided into breakout rooms on Zoom. Registrants will be responsible for bringing 1 – 2 questions and/or 1 – 2 items that pertain to an application they are working on. Each room will be facilitated by an Office for Public Art staff member. The guest speaker will spend 10 minutes in each breakout room to answer questions and provide feedback before being rotated to the next room. \nAbout Estrella Esquilín\nEstrella Esquilín (she/her) is a visual artist and independent cultural strategist with decades of experience working to support arts workers within large and small universities\, local government and nonprofit organizations.
