How to succeed in public art: Knowledge transfer and role of mentors<br />

There are few “how to” templates to build knowledge in making public art. The third session explores how to succeed in public art and the roles of<br />

knowledge transfer and role of mentors. The DESIGN Canberra DISCOVER: Craft + Design Trail aims to support craft artist and designers to create<br />

work for the public realm. DISCOVER offered participating artists the opportunity to work with an established artistic mentor, as well as significant<br />

financial support to develop and make a work of public art.<br />

Facilitated by Jodie Cunningham (CEO, Craft ACT and visual artist) who has experience in both commissioning and being commissioned to create<br />

public art – this session showcases the work of artists and mentors who have worked on public art projects for both the urban and health<br />

environments. Craft and Design artists Hannah Quinlivan and Rosie Armstrong discuss their experience working with mentors for the DESIGN<br />

Canberra <strong>Discover</strong>: Craft + Design trail (supported by City Renewal Authority.) Textile artist Annie Trevillian and curator Jennifer McFarlane discuss<br />

the complex process of developing work for the Canberra Hospital environment
