Angela Anderson Adams has worked as a curator and arts administrator for nearly 40 years and spent half of those directing Arlington Public Art.  Under her leadership, Arlington Public Art has grown from being one of the first developer-sponsored programs in the country to an internationally renowned, award-winning public and privately funded program. The program contributes art and design enhancements to most major civic projects undertaken in Arlington County.

In this episode, Angela and I discuss the collaborative process of planning public art and upcoming projects in Arlington. We talk about everything from how an artist can pitch themselves to create public art, how a county can make art accessible for everyone, and new projects that Angela is excited about.
