Public Art Network Year in Review

Since 2000, Americans for the Arts Public Art Network (PAN) Year in Review annually recognizes outstanding public art projects that represent the most compelling work for the year from across the country. Two or more public art professionals serve as jurors to review hundreds of project applications and select up to 50 projects to include. The PAN Year in Review is the only national program that specifically recognizes public art projects and is an excellent advocacy and educational tool for those who are impacting their community through public art. Recognized projects are available in the Online Database with additional materials for view and purchase can be found on the Annual Presentations page.

 

 

logoArts. Ask for More. Public Awareness Campaign

From January 2002 – May 2010, Americans for the Arts partnered with the Ad Council to create a multiyear national public service advertisement campaign to promote the need for more arts education opportunities for children. The campaign engaged parents providing tools and resources on how the arts are essential to a child's development and identified ways  to advocate for more arts education for children both in and out of school. The Arts. Ask for More. website remains online as a resource to continue to promote the arts. Parents and teachers alike are still using the resources from Arts. Ask for More. to advocate for more arts in their local schools.
