Share topicOne thing to do is to draw out your concepts and use pull quotes to describe how the parts are to function. Kind of like a blueprint, but not so formal. Scan it if you do it by hand. Then based on the parts you know you need help (perhaps a cabinet maker if you are creating a light box, and her friend who is an electrician), open the yellow pages to trade organizations that work with people in that field and get in touch and see if they'll help you recruit someone for your project. There are also trade websites where you can get in touch ia e-mail with folks who might be interested in assisting. RUn an ad on Craigslist in the appropriate sectinos too - there are TONS of talented people scanning those ads. Let me know how it goes...

Has anyone worked on multimedia public art projects?
I have some very-rough concepts in mind but don't know how to find collaborators who can help with the functional logistics of creating a public art project. The primary issues are probably carpentry and/or electrical concerns. If you've worked on a project like this - or have these skills and want to collaborate - please offer pointers! For me, the concept and the RFP are probably the easiest parts, as long as I have someone to help out with the functional areas about which I am relatively clueless.

Posted by Jennifer Hofmann, Salem, Oregon | Nov 07, 2007Hi there!
I personally don't have any experience, but there have been many public art events in my community.
If you contact me, I'd be happy to send you some contacts that I'm sure would be willing to lend some expertise!
