Making it Public for New England Artists - 2026 Registration

NEW: The 2026 Making it Public (MIP) for New England Artists will focus on public art in rural places.  MIP for New England Artists is a free five-week virtual workshop series designed by Forecast Public Art (FPA) to support artists of all disciplines in exploring and expanding their public art making practice. Workshops cover practical and tactical subjects including site analysis, stakeholder considerations, community engagement, funding opportunities, contracting, insurance, and more! Sessions will include guest speakers, both local and national public art professionals, adding a depth of knowledge about the field of public art and its contemporary issues.  At the conclusion of the workshop series, participating artists will be better equipped to respond to a Call for Temporary Public Art and foster more vibrant and equitable public spaces through artmaking. 


The 2026 MIP Artist Track training will take place virtually on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:30 PM ET: 

  • March 10, 2026
  • March 17, 2026
