We are thrilled to share that the NOLA Artist Incubator has been selected to participate in “Making It Public: Public Art Workshop For Louisiana Organizations”!

For the next 5 weeks we’ll be participating in training facilitated by Forecast Public Art designed to equip administrators in strengthening local capacity to support, create, and promote public art.

From the website:

Through the Louisiana Division of the Arts, in partnership with Atchafalaya National Heritage Area and Forecast Public Art, Making it Public will cover practical and tactical subjects for administrators at all level of experience with facilitating public art, such as stakeholder considerations, community engagement, preparing a call‐for‐artists, equitable selection processes, contracting, and more. Sessions include guest public art professionals, both local and national, adding a depth of knowledge about the field of public art, the profession, and its contemporary issues.

Through Making it Public the Louisiana Division of the Arts aims to foster a community of practice that is inspiring more vibrant public spaces and public culture through public artmaking across Louisiana.
