Description edit
The Public Art Fund is New York's leading presenter of artists' projects, new commissions, and exhibitions in public spaces. For over 25 years the Public Art Fund has been committed to working with emerging and established artists to produce innovative exhibitions of contemporary art for neighborhoods throughout New York City. By bringing artworks outside the traditional context of museums and galleries, the Public Art Fund provides increased access to the art of our time -dismantling any barriers to the accessibility of contemporary art - and provides artists with a unique opportunity to expand their artistic practice.
Public Art Fund's ongoing program encompass three categories: (1) Major Initiatives with Established Artists (2) In the Public Realm, a program to realize projects by emerging New York artists (3) Additional outreach efforts, including Public Art Fund Talks, a publication series, and InProcess, Public Art Fund's newsletter.
Working with established artists, the Public Art Fund commissions new projects and curates exhibitions of existing artworks previously not seen in New York City. The Public Art Fund also collaborates with New York City Museums to expand the reach of their exhibitions beyond their gallery space. For example, as with the Whitney Biennial in Central Park, 2002 and Francis Alÿs's, The Modern Procession, 2002, the Public Art Fund worked with the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art, respectively, to bring monumental art projects into the public realm, and introduce a broad public to the work of these major contemporary artists.
