My final project was look into Austin’s Art in Public Places program. The specific aspects I explored were the means of funding for the program and the process of deciding who should make the art and where it should be placed. I also provided readers with a brief introduction to the concept of public art. To gain insight for my writing on these subjects I interviewed Carrie Brown, a project manager for the AIPP program, and Jill Bedgood, a local artist and art instructor who has been commissioned by the AIPP and served on AIPP panels. My interview with Jill was on the phone, but I was able to grab a couple of brief video clips from my interview with Carrie. The dataset I worked with was from the City of Austin and contained information about the title, artist and location of each piece of Austin public art. From this and a couple of other sources I charted how Austin’s public art is distributed using two different metrics. The first had to do with income. I charted how many works of public art are on display in areas within various median household income ranges. I did the same with their placement throughout areas with various growth projections. My interactive component is the inclusion of a form where readers can select a ZIP code and upon submitting their selection a map will appear that shows them the location of all the works of public art on display in those locations.
