This book is about how taxpayer money is spent on public art. Some art colleagues and I are questioning the jury process for selecting pieces used in public art. We are lifelong artists, and we have college art degrees and twenty to thirty years of experience in doing large-scale sculptures. Our frustration lies in the fact that the jury for public art is largely made up of nonart-educated and nonart-experienced juries. Our question is, How can an insurance agent, a mayor, a real estate agent, or a business owner judge the artwork of a professional artist? We do have a solution to assist in solving this problem.
