RACC has been innovating the field of public art management for 30 years. Our team leads through a combination of time-tested expertise, contemporary cultural competency, and a nuanced understanding of all sides of the prismatic public artmaking process. We work with clients to harmonize perspectives and build relationships between all parties involved: the administrators and public servants, private project developers and collectors, engaged community members and selection panelists, and of course the commissioned artists themselves.
Whether you’re in need of project facilitation services, assistance navigating the bureaucratic process of bringing public art to bear, or advice on how to best install, preserve, and maintain an outdoor artwork or collection, RACC has your back.
