Public Art Typology Guide

Which public art intervention is right for your project?

If today's session raised questions about how your district measures arts and culture, We’d love to continue that conversation.

We offer a focused consulting engagement where we design your framework together — custom to your community, your capacity, and your goals. The information is on the sheet in front of you. You can use the link to book a free call to see if we can help you design a custom framework for your district.

THE COMMUNITY METRICS DESIGN SESSION

Two working sessions over 2-3 weeks. You'll walk away with:
  • A five-category metrics framework adapted to your specific context

  • Sample community questions and data-gathering prompts

  • Method templates — surveys, story cards, observation guides — matched to your capacity and the specific categories you're measuring

  • Tools and methods matched to your capacity and budget

  • Language you can use with funders, city partners, and your own community
