Our consulting team partners with decision-makers and stakeholders in communities of all sizes. We offer consulting and technical assistance to support accessible and equitable arts and cultural planning efforts. This includes arts and culture policies, programs, ordinances, public art collections, and support for artists and community engagement.
We focus our pro bono and in-kind services in communities of color, rural communities, and Native nations.
We look at what you’re already doing and pull together comprehensive strategies to build cohesion in all of your public art and cultural efforts. We conduct community engagement to understand what is important to residents, develop best practices for a variety of public art scenarios, write public art ordinances and policy, and provide suggestions for how to move your public art aspirations forward. We cultivate actionable public art and culture plans that grow with you as you continue to build your program.
Using creative tools, we can help you gather input, share information, and have dialogue with community members to reach a common goal.
We facilitate the commissioning process from start to finish to help you meet percent for art ordinances or other public art policies in your community. We help you set goals for a public art project, define the process, develop a RFQ or call, facilitate fair and equitable artist selection processes, and assist with contracting.
We develop curriculum and facilitate workshops for artists, admins, and public art partners. This includes sharing practical information about procurement processes, contemporary issues and trends in public art, and practical information about contracting, insurance, and budgeting.
We identify discrepancies in public art collections as related to race, gender, immigration status, and more. Based on this research, we’ll help you prioritize public art initiatives, set program goals and action plans, assign accountability, and measure the impact of changes you make to your public art processes.

Our team works in communities across the country and globe. These are the US locations where we have been on the ground—meeting with stakeholders and partnering with communities to meet their public art and engagement needs—and our list is growing by the day.
