Workshop Focus:

• Defining how you fit (or don't fit) into the vast public art system and where to focus your time and attention to enable you to make and sell your work in the public realm.
• Strategies for funding and manifesting your ideas outside of standard public art program systems.
• Methods for working with the client and/or community to develop, fund, and get support for your idea, vision, and concept.
