SUMMARY:Make the Jump: Shifting Artistic Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Make the Jump: Shifting Artistic Ideas features presentations by artists Kipp Kobayashi and Clayton Merrell followed by discussion with the audience. Kobayashi’s and Merrell’s session will focus on needs\, expressed by local artists\, to learn how to make the leap from a solo studio practice to working on public art projects that involve navigating different environments\, working with different materials\, collaborating with design teams\, and relying on installers. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring questions relating to this topic to the session. \nThis session will be held online via Zoom. \nAbout Kipp Kobayashi\nKipp Kobayashi is an artist interested in the traces of human activity and how they transform the structures and systems of our physical world into living entities of our collective thoughts\, action and experiences. His work stems from his background growing up as an Asian American which has led to a lifelong interest in deconstructing our preconceived notions of who we are and what we are; breaking them down into the most basic elements of human and natural factors to better understand the unique sets of combinations and patterns that define a more nuanced interpretation of identity and cultural belonging. \nAbout Clayton Merrell\nClayton Merrell is a Professor of Art at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned an MFA in painting from Yale\, and has received awards/grants from the Fulbright Foundation\, ProArts\, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Skowhegan\, Millay Colony\, Blue Mountain Center\, Vermont Studio Center\, Artists Image Resource and Roswell Artist-In-Residence Foundation. He was 2005 Artist of the Year at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. His work is collected and exhibited widely\, including exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution; Concept Gallery\, Pittsburgh; A+D Gallery\, Chicago; the Westmoreland Museum; the American Embassy in Belize; and Chautauqua. In 2015 the Pittsburgh International Airport installed a 69\,000 square foot terrazzo floor based on his design. \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: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.

DESCRIPTION:Winter Intensive returns\, starting January 26\, 2023! \nArtists Working in Community is a three-part\, bi-weekly series led by Springboard for the Arts’ Community Development Director\, Ricardo Beaird\, and Community Development Program Manager\, Amanda Cortés. \nUsing Springboard for the Arts’ Handbook for Artists Working in Community as a guide\, Beaird and Cortés will push artists to think about their own passions and goals when it comes to working with communities in the public realm. Honoring the handbook’s definitions of public art and artist\, this series will demonstrate how artists can facilitate community-led projects\, share best practices for community-engaged work\, and develop collaboration skills. \nThis will be a dynamic\, activity-based series with possible homework assignments between sessions. Attendees will be expected to participate and be present throughout the program. \nSessions will be held online via Zoom on Thursdays from 4:00 – 6:00 PM ET\, January 26\, February 9\, and February 23\, 2023. \nAbout Springboard for the Arts\nFounded in 1991\, Springboard for the Arts works at the intersection of arts and economic and community development\, helping local artists and communities thrive together. Our mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by connecting artists with the resources they need to make a living and a life. We define artists broadly\, from any and all disciplines and experiences\, from culture bearers and craft artists to classically trained\, from those who receive commissions to those who sing in choir or carve spoons – recognizing that creative people are in every community and on every block in a city or few acres in a rural area. \nAs a national leader in creative community development\, our approach is rooted in the principles of community organizing and focuses on a “lots of little” strategy that surfaces unrecognized leaders in communities\, builds public narratives from a multiplicity of perspectives and voices; unearths and supports community health and economic vibrancy; and\, creates low-risk on ramps for cross-sector collaboration. This equity-based model centers the lives and experiences of the people in and of the place; values the relationships\, partnerships\, and creative capacity that artists and communities build together and aims to build power and agency for individuals\, neighborhoods and communities. We deliver programs locally and catalyze action nationally by sharing our adaptable strategies through free toolkits\, consulting services\, workshops and trainings. \nAbout Ricardo Beaird\nRicardo Beaird is a theater maker\, teaching artist\, and cheese curd enthusiast originally from Nashville\, Tennessee.
