The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the US General Services Administration (GSA) are collaborating to raise awareness of GSA’s arts in architecture program and to promote federal art commission opportunities for artists who reflect the diversity of communities across the country. Both organizations share a commitment to increasing equitable opportunities for artists, making federal art commissions accessible to the public.
On October 12th at 1:00 pm ET, GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan and NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson participate in a video discussion about the 50-year history of the Art in Architecture program and the significant role of public art in our country. See below.
