Public Art Training Camp Session 2: Best Practices for Artist Selection Panels with Christian Guerra

Arts administrator Christian Guerra will discuss best practices for selecting artists for future public art projects. Topics will include: establishing core principles in a Request for Proposals (RFP); demonstrating how well-defined core principles lead to better collaborations; listening to artists; and incorporating community feedback to enhance the artist selection process.

This session will be ideal for both artists and arts administrators who regularly navigate the selection process and who would like to learn how to better evaluate potential art opportunities.
