We are currently developing a software system for the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Program that will allow people to custom design tours through a "google" map type feature. Along with the map, images, artist bios and project descriptions will be included. To compliment the the software system, we are also actively pursuing creating an APP and/or a text messaging system that will "text" information about the public art pieces...so that's what is in the works for now...many new and exciting things. <br /><br />I should also note that Art in Public Places received a Knight Arts Challenge Grant to help with the purchase of this collections management software system. The acquisition of this custom-designed automated system will significantly improve the conservation and stewardship of the collection, including inventory and records-keeping functions. It will also allow greater opportunities for public engagement with and appreciation of the artworks by enabling 24/7 online access to images, including interpretive descriptions and documentation of each work. Visitors to the Art in Public Places website will be able to create custom designed public art walking or driving tours, and explore the collection by media, location or works by particular artists.I shaved my legs for this?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13882802983074871761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390791877299175795.post-13745927478237473282010-02-17T10:05:58.496-08:002010-02-17T10:05:58.496-08:00There is an app called "artnear" by hopn...There is an app called "artnear" by hopnear - it is pretty nifty - I have submitted artformz in the free section, listing art events and shows and museums wherever one is traveling - I believe it would work really well for all art in public places to log in the installations in there city - worth investigating.<br /><br />www.hopnear.comAlettehttp://www.alettesimmonjimenez.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390791877299175795.post-69186600714225273222010-01-16T05:36:21.378-08:002010-01-16T05:36:21.378-08:00Great article!

Since I'm in LA, I don't know who's running the show, and I know Dennis has an extremely full plate, but isn't there someone in APP who could investigate? This could be a very cool endeavor for all cities with public art collections...annienoreply@blogger.com
