Where do you find public art? Do you see it every day, in murals in your neighborhood or an art installation on your campus? Have you traveled to visit destinations like Mount Rushmore or Cloud Gate in Chicago’s Millennium Park?
There is a new tool to help you find public art— the Public Art Archive™, a data-rich, online catalogue of public art throughout the U.S. and Canada put together by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF). WESTAF is a regional arts service organization dedicated to the creative development and preservation of the arts, with an emphasis on technology. While the organization primarily serves the 13 states that make up its membership, WESTAF impacts the entire country through their new technology tools designed for the creative industries.
Launched in 2009, the archive is a free resource that allows a broad range of users to explore public art in their communities. Their extensive, standardized data includes items such as images of the public artwork at different stages of the project, documents with artists’ statements, audio of artist interviews, and video of the piece’s installation. The archive also boasts a mobile site that grants visitors easy access to the database, including a geo-location feature to immediately find artworks near you. With 100 collections catalogued to date, WESTAF continues to accept content submissions to the archive.
Join the Baltimore Art + Justice Project!
MICA’s Office of Community Engagement is partnering with Animating Democracy and the Open Society Foundations to “map” the intersection of art and social justice in Baltimore. Our goal is to highlight Baltimore’s many strengths and to increase opportunities for collaboration among local artists, advocates and funders working for social justice.
Our first online interactive map, which will also include demographic and neighborhood data, will launch in Spring 2013. We want to make sure that YOU are on the map!
If you are doing work that is at the intersection of art + social justice, please visit www.mica.edu/bajp and follow the instructions to join fellow artists, designers, organizations, and advocates on the map. When you fill out a profile (10 minutes, max), you and your work will also be included in Animating Democracy’s national database.
Get Mapped. Spread the word!
If you have any questions about the project, please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 410-225-4268.

There are 4,000 children in foster care in Baltimore City and all should benefit from a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer. CASA makes a difference in the present and has a real impact on the future of these young people’s lives.
Showcase your work to a motivated audience of patrons, and become part of our mission to give a voice to the children in Baltimore’s foster care system.
CASA wants to do everything it can to encourage more support for the wonderful, generous community of artists who support their cause. This year, as a way of thanking the artists who donate, CASA is offering 30% of the proceeds of items auctioned at the Art of Caring Benefit back to the artists. CASA is accepting up to five pieces of art from each artist as another way to boost patron support and showcase each artist who participates.
Please consider contributing to CASA and help change the realities of neglected and abused children in our city by participating in the Third Annual Art of Caring, April 28, 2013 at AREA 405.
AREA 405 is honored to be able to donate its space for this worth while cause and we hope you will consider participating either by submitting work to the auction, or by attending the benefit – whose proceeds make a real difference in the lives of Baltimore’s most vulnerable children.
The donation of your art to this event makes a strong statement: Grown- ups in Baltimore care and don’t accept abuse as status quo.
