Florida Association of Public Art Administrators (FAPAA) is a non-profit corporation, established as a service organization for professional public art administrators and related disciplines. It is dedicated to the development, advancement and education of the public art field in the State of Florida. FAPAA develops and promotes professional standards in the management and administration of public art programs. |
The mission, direction and activities of FAPAA are guided by a Board of Directors elected by the membership and a slate of Officers elected by the Board. This Board, the Officers and FAPAA members endeavor to provide educational, informational and networking opportunities for individuals, institutions, governments and businesses involved in all aspects of public art. They also encourage awareness of the social and economic benefits of public art programs. |
Periodically, members and guests gather at conferences in various cities of Florida to compare programs, share solutions and discuss the direction of public art in our state. Professional development, peer liaison, technical assistance, topic sessions and guest lecturers are included in these meetings. |
To educate as well as learn from other organizations closely involved in public art, FAPAA may hold its conferences in collaboration with annual meetings of art educators, local arts agencies, architects, counties and cities. |
Florida communities considering the establishment of a public art program are encouraged to contact FAPAA for information and to send representatives to the conferences to learn from other public art professionals. |
