This workshop will provide insights and strategies for effectively communicating designs after a project has been selected for a public art commission. We will address strategies for creating compelling visualizations that tell the narrative of your work. Understanding that public art is a group effort, we will examine how artists can effectively present their design concepts to various stakeholders, including commissioning agencies, community members, and project collaborators.
