Have you just received approval and funding to start a public art project but are feeling a little panicked and overwhelmed because you don’t know where to start? 

 

Do you have a great vision for your art project, but know you’ve had trouble staying motivated and on task with projects in the past so you’re anxious about pulling this one off? 

 

Are you worried that you don’t have time to do the community outreach and marketing necessary to get people excited about your project because you're already committed to so many things?

 

Maybe you’re an artist who doesn’t think you have the skills or connections needed to spread the word about your project. You think if you spend the time needed to promote your project, you won’t have time to focus on actually making the art.  

 

You received a grant for your art project (congrats!), but you don’t know how to turn your idea into a reality. You’re feeling overwhelmed by all of the factors needed to see your project to completion. 

 

Or perhaps you’re a public agency or private organization without the staff to assign to this extra project. Your organization doesn’t have the in-house expertise when it comes to seeing an arts-based community project through to completion. 

​

What if you had someone to help you get your project started and completed? 

 

Imagine if you had a knowledgeable, capable and experienced person to help organize your project? You’d have administrative support throughout all phases of your project, guidance through unfamiliar territory, and the task management to ultimately see your project through to completion.
 

What if this person had your back and supported you during all steps of your project by breaking it all down into manageable and easily doable tasks? 

 

You’d have a trusted colleague to map out your project from start to finish and take care of all of the parts of the project that you don’t have time to focus on like daily social media posts and email. 

 

Wouldn’t it be great if someone else handled the community outreach for your project? They'd seamlessly take care of creating amazing Facebook and Instagram captions to build excitement for your project while you focused on the pivotal details that matter most to you and the project. 

 

What if you had someone to keep your entire project on schedule and within the budget so you could focus on the parts that matter most to you whether it’s creating the art for the project or getting community members involved. You’d have a project manager who has real-world experience organizing community art projects who could manage all aspects of the project, including finding the perfect creatives to fulfill your vision, meeting with community stakeholders, promoting the project on social media, keeping you in the loop with regular updates, and making sure the project stays on track. 

 

Do any of these sound familiar? 

 

You’re worried that you won’t have time to make your artwork the best it can be if you have to focus on all of the time consuming details of managing your project like responding to emails and meeting with community stakeholders. And honestly, you’re afraid it the scope of it will creep up on you and get too big to handle.

 

You’re grateful for the opportunity to create a public art project, but you’re feeling unsure and overwhelmed about confidently knowing what all the steps are to make it happen. This feeling is slowing down your ability to get the work done and you’re already feeling behind.  

 

Your agency, organization or business is excited for the opportunity to make a difference in the community with a creative project, but you don’t have the staff, time, or expertise to make it happen. You see there are gaps in your plan where you need support to keep all of the stakeholders happy and knowing the project is going to be fully completed.  

I can help you complete a powerful art project! 

 

I help artists, agencies, organizations, and businesses working on community art projects get organized and make their plans a reality.

In addition to my help managing all of the details of your project, you’ll also have me as your back-up support person on the parts of the project you want to spearhead  yourself.

​

• Received appreciative messages from community members detailing how the project positively impacted their lives, including bringing them together with family members. 

​
