Public Art and Creative Placemaking: Activating Nontraditional Spaces

Next date: Thursday, January 15, 2026 | 12:00 PM to 01:30 PM

Interested in public art and creative placemaking? Perhaps you could envision your work in airports, subways, parks and/or cityscapes. This panel discussion will explore the possibilities for art in public and nontraditional spaces, drawing upon the perspective of both artists who have landed these commissions and public art managers who administer them.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Types of public art opportunities
• Tips for applying to open calls and/or sharing your work for consideration
• How these commissions are structured: budget, process, and timeline
• An inside look as to how these projects come to fruition, from both the artists’ and managers’ perspectives

Time for Q&A will be provided.

Presented by the NVLAA and facilitated by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).
