Public Art
RACC has been innovating the field of public art management for 30 years.
Our team works to build relationships between all parties involved: the administrators and public servants, private project developers and collectors, selection panelists, the commissioned artists, and the thousands of community members who engage with the work in their environments. Our work in curating and maintaining a rich Public Art collection and supporting individual projects in the region, enlivens public spaces such as parks, community centers, government buildings, libraries, and health clinics while making our region a more vibrant and welcoming place to be.
