“+ Art: A Developer’s Guide to Public Art” Provides Procedures and Best Practices for Including Art in the Development Process
Developers, builders and architects seeking to incorporate art into their projects have a new resource as the Metro Nashville Arts Commission (Metro Arts) today released “+ Art: A Developer’s Guide to Public Art,” a manual of processes and best practices that Metro Arts has honed through its management and expansion of the city’s public art collection.
“We envision this guide as a useful tool to answer some of our most frequently asked questions about including public art in private developments,” said Metro Arts Executive Director Caroline Vincent. “Although we don’t commission art outside of Metro Nashville’s public art collection, we are often asked about how to incorporate art and artists into a project. We we work with artists every day and are able to share best practices around public art and placemaking. This guide is a step-by-step manual of the most effective methods we’ve found for managing the public art process from beginning to end.”
Developed by Metro Arts with input from local developers and community members, “+ Art” is designed to guide the user through topics such as defining public art, beginning a project, hiring an artist, gathering community feedback and planning for long-term maintenance of the artwork and offers examples of art incorporated into hospitals, subdivisions, hotels and other private developments.
The guide is the second recent tool from Metro Arts to assist private citizens with public art; in fall 2018 the agency released “Art for (W)all: A Guide to Making Murals in Nashville.” Both guides are available the “Resources and Toolkits” page of our website.

Over the past year, I have been thinking a lot about moving to Dubai. I spent a lot of time chatting with expatriates from my home country, and their positive feedback about life in Dubai helped me decide to relocate. Hearing about their experiences with work, housing, and daily life made me confident in taking this step. Choosing a new country to live in is a major decision, and it’s important to consider factors like career opportunities and lifestyle. For me, Dubai’s fast-growing IT sector and modern environment were very appealing.
One of the main reasons I chose Dubai is the strong demand for software engineers. I was excited about the opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects in international companies…
Great post, very informative! Speaking of upgrading, many of us forget about what to do with our old gadgets. I had a drawer full of unused electronics until I discovered a reliable Used Electronics Buyer UAE. They offered fair value and a smooth pickup process. Recycling this way also ensures the environment benefits, so I’d recommend Gulf IT Scrap to anyone wanting to declutter responsibly.
Projects like this remind us that creativity often thrives outside the studio—sometimes while braving the elements. After those long site visits or installation days, cozy up in gear that feels like a warm hug. For chilly urban explorations or post-project celebrations, stay comfy in your favorite Minnesota Vikings Pullover Jacket.
MEP estimating involves calculating the costs associated with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in construction projects. This process includes analyzing blueprints, specifications, labor, materials, equipment, and project timelines to create accurate cost projections. MEP estimators play a crucial role in budgeting, bidding, and ensuring project profitability. They use advanced software and industry knowledge to account for every component, including HVAC systems, lighting, wiring, water supply, and drainage. Accurate MEP estimates help avoid cost overruns and support efficient project planning. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, MEP estimating is vital for delivering projects on time and within budget.
