What are some good resources to learn more about public art conventions, policies, and practices?

One of the best resources for current information about the public art field is the Americans for the Arts’ Public Art Network listserv, which allows members to tap the knowledge of a great many public art professionals. The listserv archive, also accessible to members, contains years of previous questions and discussion, and can be an excellent starting point to develop a deeper knowledge of public art conventions, policies, and contemporary practice. Additionally, this website (and this FAQ section) contain information that addresses a host of public art questions and concerns, and can be an excellent starting point for learning more about the field or the specific needs of your program.
