Public Art Consulting
As a public art consultant my goal is to help create projects that focus on personal and communal transformation and healing.
I have been working as a public art consultant since 2013. I have specialized in community engagement planning for public art projects, project management, arts education program building, artist management, event planning, facilitation and evaluation.
Current work:

Understanding the public art field as an emerging artist
Creating short term and long term goals as an artist
Building a portfolio
How to respond to RFQs and RFPs
Grant writing
