Creative Resources: Promoting Connectivity and Community in Public Art

The Public Art Archive (PAA) team is dedicated to working in alignment with our mission to make public art more public. Users of PAA can likely deduce that we spend a significant amount of time with the data that feeds into our public engagement portal: we catalog artwork, provide data collection workflows, clean and reconcile data submissions from artists and arts organizations, and perform quality control measures. We also administer and provide support for the Public Art Archive Collection Management System (CMS) and other services. Beyond these roles and the ongoing effort to grow the number of artworks available on the Public Art Archive, the PAA team aims to cultivate connectivity in the public art field.
