Identifying Artist Representation in a Public Art Collection

In 2020, the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (MOCA) created a demographic review of Houston’s 677-piece public art collection in a concerted effort to work toward and promote the City’s vision and goals stated in its Arts and Cultural Plan —to “foster an environment in which art and culture flourish for the sharing and benefit of all residents and visitors.” This webinar will explore the in’s and out’s of how Houston reviewed their collection and dive into some of their lessons learned.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Learn about the importance of a demographic review of a public art collection and how it can help address a city’s DEI obligations
• Hear from experienced arts administrators on how they developed the review process and what it means for their public art program
• Learn the basics of implementing a demographic review of a public art collection
