SUMMARY:Public Art Opportunities and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Applications for public art commissions and opportunities can be daunting. A large majority of artists who responded to the Pittsburgh Public Art Counts! survey indicated that they have never applied for a public art project because the process was confusing\, they didn’t know how to prepare required documents\, and because they felt as if they didn’t have the necessary experience to be a strong enough candidate. This fourth session of Public Art Training Camp will include a presentation by public art consultant Shelly Willis that will provide information to help artists prepare applications\, self-select before applying to an opportunity\, and demonstrate how an artist’s practice and skills make them eligible for a public art opportunity with no prior public art experience. This session will conclude with discussion. \nThis session will be held online via Zoom. \nAbout Shelly Willis\nShelly Willis has more than three decades of experience planning\, curating\, and managing the production of hundreds of temporary and permanent artworks throughout the country. \nAs the Director of the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission’s Public Art Program from 2007-2017 she managed the City and County of Sacramento’s Art in Public Places Programs\, including the $8 million dollar Sacramento International Airport and the $9.5 million Entertainment and Sports Complex public art programs. Willis came to Sacramento after six years of managing the University of Minnesota’s public art program where she also taught public art courses in the Departments of Urban Studies and Landscape Architecture. \nAs a private consultant since 2017 her clients have included\, among others\, the Cities of Sparks\, Nevada\, West Sacramento\, San Leandro\, Palo Alto\, Elk Grove; the Port of Oakland and the County of Sacramento; artist’s Mildred Howard\, Lava Thomas\, and Janet Zweig; The McConnell Foundation\, Sacramento Municipal Utility District\, the Rail Arts District in Napa; and Napa Redevelopment Partners\, Fulcrum Properties\, and Riverview Capital Investments. \nLast year she curated and managed 18 temporary projects throughout the State of California\, as part of the State’s “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign which was designed to keep Californians healthy during the pandemic. \nTickets\nIndividual tickets are Pay What You Can ranging from $12\, $15\, or $20. \nThis registration link will redirect you to Eventbrite where you will complete your registration. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Artist Self-Organization
DESCRIPTION:A common question from respondents to the Pittsburgh Public Art Counts! survey was how can artists self-initiate projects? A thoughtful and fair question\, self-organization can be a way to help artists create opportunities for themselves and others\, develop a wider network\, and reconsider what it means to work in the public realm. Brooklyn-based artists Nataša Prljević and Farideh Sakhaeifar will be leading this session and sharing their experiences as individual artists and as members of HEKLER\, an artist-run platform and transnational collective that focuses on critical and experimental examinations of hospitality and conflict. \nThis session will be held online via Zoom. \nPlease note that this session will take place on a Monday. \nAbout Nataša Prljevic\nNATAŠA PRLJEVIĆ is an artist and cultural worker from Užice\, Serbia based in Brooklyn\, NY. Rooted in collage and assemblage practice\, Prljević is committed to collaboration and collective work which center poetics and politics of conflict\, diasporic intimacy\, and art as a tool for rehearsal of transnational solidarity and imagination. In the past ten years Prljević worked and studied with art and cultural workers\, educators\, healers\, activists\, collectives\, and organizations from all over the world. Prljević is one of the initiators of HEKLER\, an artist-run platform and transnational collective that focuses on critical and experimental examination of hospitality and conflict.  \nAbout Farideh Sakhaeifar\nFarideh Sakhaeifar is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Brooklyn\, NY. Sakhaeifar’s work investigates the politics of conflict\, collective history\, and personal accounts.

She received her MFA from Cornell University (2011) and her BFA from Azad Art and Architecture University in Iran (2008). \nTickets\nIndividual tickets are Pay What You Can ranging from $12\, $15\, or $20. \nThis registration link will redirect you to Eventbrite where you will complete your registration. \nRegistration
