Key Talking Points

• No experience is lost as you take the journey to become the artist you will be.
• When you start out as an artist you need income until you develop a client list and sales.
• How to find and present for public art installations.
• There is effort that you have to put into submitting to a public art installation. It is more than filling out questions, you have to show and tell the vision as though you were an architect pitching a project.
• Embrace experimentation. A quote from Ann that we loved “The thing that came to me that should exist.”
• Places where you can find calls for public arts:
  • Local and State art councils.
  • https://www.codaworx.com/
• Collect rejection letters.
