RESOURCES FOR PUBLIC ARTISTS
THE RIGHT TO ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
In 2017, we partnered with ACLU of Minnesota to create a document on artist freedom of speech rights, that was included as part of the Resist feature article in the print version of Public Art Review issue 56. These rights remain valuable today, especially for those artists working in public for the first time.
TOOLKIT: CREATIVE ALTERNATIVES
This toolkit provides guidance on how artists and public art administrators can keep arts projects active and moving forward, even as we physically distance during the pandemic.
FORECAST LIBRARY
The Public Art Library maintains a non-circulating collection of more than 2,000 print, digital, and multimedia materials from the field of public art.
By appointment, visit our extensive library of public art materials at our Saint Paul office and meet our friendly, supportive staff. Appointments are currently suspended due to COVID-19.
