GSA Launches New Public Art Website
The General Services Administration (GSA) is a federal agency managing one of the nation's oldest and largest public art collections with over 26,000 works in its holdings. This artwork belongs to the American people and is held in public trust for current and future generations. The art collection is now available on their website - browse, research, and discover public art created through the GSA Art in Architecture program or held in their Fine Arts collections.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation is conducting a survey to better understand the current state of artists currently working and living in the US.   
Let Mellon know your most pressing needs as it considers the ways in which it might expand its support of the artistic community.
