Demystifying Public Art with Lynn Basa

December 17, 2015 - 7:00pm

Led by artist Lynn Basa, this 90-minute webinar covers all aspects of researching and applying for public art commissions for visual artists. Questions answered include:

* Is public art for me?  
* How do I find public art commissions?
* How does the selection process work?
* Does it require any special skills?
* Is it worth my while?
* Am I selling out if I make art for the general public?
