In recent years, New York City has become a major locus for exploring the role of art in public spaces, art as public space, and the art of public space. These valuable initiatives represent not only a means for engaging and developing vibrant communities, but give us new ways to think about managing the arts. For this Creative Conversation, four local champions in public art practice will share behind-the-scenes cases of projects they have managed; reflecting on motivations, strategies for success, and lessons learned as advocates for dynamic, livable cities.
