The Artist Guide to Public Art How to Find and Win Commissions Second Edition edition by Lynn Basa Mary Jane Jacob Barbara T Hoffman Arts Photography eBooks Reviews

• I am new to public art and I have been searching for a complete process guid, from call for artist to the proposal. Thank God someone recommended this book to me at a public art conference.
  If you are taking on public art as a profession, this is a Must read. I have also been able to sit on an advisory board for public art thanks to this book.
• i have been engaged in public sculpture projects for the past 33 years. happy to say there are still things one can learn from this book. included is alot of very useful information for those without such experience in particular. Mz Basa covers all the bases and then some. it could work also as a good reference manual to remind oneself of items to deal with, whether in a contract or with one's support aspects. great fun to read of other artists experiences, many of which confirmed my own.
  normally i don't acquire such books, but very pleased indeed that i did in this case!
• I am not just saying this because the book was written by a personal friend I recommend it as a public art professional for having spot-on advice and portraying the world of public art as it really is. It's a good basic reference for all artists looking to get into, or get better at, public art, as it teaches the norms of the field and is written in a style that sounds like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend.
• As everyone else states; "You don't learn this in school", great references, guidelines and opens your eyes to how organized an artist has to be as well as how much paperwork is involved. I am "SO Right Brained", I will need assistance getting through all the paperwork that needs to be done.
• In depth examination of the whys, wherefores, how tos and sink holes of creating public art. I would have gotten myself into a lot of trouble without reading this book. If you are an artist who is interested in getting into public art projects, I highly recommend you read every word of this book before submitting any RFQs or proposals!
• This book is clear and direct. It has lots of concrete information and sources for more information. It is like a map to the somewhat confusing and evolving world of public art. Some of the information is no longer current and I look forward to the next edition.
• Great book - tons of informations.
• Great ideas and information but most of the internet sites referred are no longer valid. If you are looking for information on how to apply to public work this is very helpful but very out of date for referenced websites to find public opportunities
