Arts, Culture and Transportation: A Creative Placemaking Field Scan

Author: Stone, Ben and Nezam, Mallory Rukhsana

Publication Year: 2017

Media Type: Report

Summary:

This field scan is a summary of the ways in which artists are currently contributing to place-based transportation projects. Although it includes a discussion of art in transit and public art programs (both defined later in this document), the field scan focuses primarily on artistic projects directly addressing a transportation challenge and produced in partnership with others working on that challenge. The field of public art is also shifting in this direction, due to changes in artistic practice and in funding, so that now many public art programs address various stages of transportation projects in collaboration with other partners.

Abstract:

A field scan is a survey and analysis of key trends and practices within a certain field of practice. Written by Transportation for America and commissioned by ArtPlace America, this field scan is a summary of the ways in which artists are currently contributing to place-based transportation projects. Although it includes a discussion of art in transit and public art programs (both defined later in this document), the field scan focuses primarily on artistic projects directly addressing a transportation challenge and produced in partnership with others working on that challenge. The field of public art is also shifting in this direction, due to changes in artistic practice and in funding, so that now many public art programs address various stages of transportation projects in collaboration with other partners.
