From project management to public art master plans, our planning process involves working closely with clients and community stakeholders to develop a series of recommendations that reflect both national best practices and local circumstances and concerns. We help create frameworks that emphasize on diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion so that our clients can be successful in leading their public art programs and projects with confidence.

Our team is multidisciplinary and diverse in our experiences, backgrounds, cultures, and generation. We are not just public art consultants. We are arts advocates, art historians, policy makers, community organizers, respected leaders, creative producers, and working artists. Our work and investments in the cultural arts span nationally and internationally. We can help consult on your public art projects and programs, artist management, community outreach, operations, policy, events, galleries, and more.

Public art has the ability to honor the past, inspire the future, catalyze discourse, and transform and anchor a place with art and storytelling for/by/about the communities who call it home.

Our methodology combines traditional forms of outreach from surveys, focus groups, and community meetings with a multidisciplinary arts-based engagement within a social practice lens. We empower artists to be community connectors while also engaging communities through art making. It is important to meet people especially those who are hard-to-reach where they gather, knowing that there are many barriers such as language, access, and transportation that may limit their participation in the planning process.

We have extensive experience in placemaking as well as placekeeping, a term that many people are not familiar with but often advocate for when it comes to preserving their communities and culture in the face of development. When we work with community organizations, community members, and artists, we are able to reimagine overlooked spaces to become places that honor the past, welcome the future, center around healing, inspire creation, while also being a catalyst for discourse.

Let us help you curate engaging and educational experiences around public art and planning. We have experience in facilitating panel discussions and board retreats, interviewing and hosting artist talks, presenting hands-on placemaking workshops and community engagement activities, mentoring emerging artists and student artists, delivering presentations for businesses or conferences, and more!
