NEFA'S NEW PUBLIC ART COORDINATOR
| | |
 Greetings New England public art community!
I am honored and excited to share that I have joined NEFA as Coordinator of Public Art & Online Services. I came to the NEFA community last fall as the public art intern during my graduate studies at Brown University in the Public Humanities Masters program. Now, with graduate school behind me, I am eager to jump back into the professional world and do what I love most -- working with artists, developing resources and opportunities, and making the arts more accessible to the public.
Cheers,
Elysian McNiff

This summer we're putting together the 2012-2013 Public Art Discussion Series, and we need of your input! Last year public artists and administrators were exposed to new technologies in public art, local fabricators, strategies in community engagement, solutions to legal issues, and the public art panel process. What is most valuable to you? Any potential speakers or participants that should be on our radar? Please send suggestions to Elysian McNiff at emcniff@nefa.org.

NEFA AT PAN PRECONFERENCE
| |
The Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network Preconference, hosted in San Antonio, packed 1.5 days with presentations, discussions, awards, networking and public art tours. Participants shared lively conversations and innovative ideas in cultural hubs such as Pearl and the Blue Star Contemporary Art Gallery, both located along the city's Riverwalk. Attendees discussed topics like digital public art inventories, social engagement and public art that responds to crisis. Attendees also celebrated the announcement of the 2012 PAN Year in Review projects (congratulations to the Maine Arts Commission for the recognition of Maple Leaf by artist Shoshannah White), and honored the 2012 PAN award recipient, Mel Chin. The Preconference ended with a motivational panel of PAN and Emerging Professionals that emphasized the need for leadership in creating place.
