Everything You Need to Manage the Public Art Process
CaFÉ and the Public Art Archive are powered by WESTAF, a 46-year-old nonprofit arts service organization and experienced developer of technology solutions for the arts that are used in all 50 states and internationally. WESTAF assists state arts agencies, arts organizations, and artists in their quest to serve diverse audiences, enrich the lives of local communities, and provide access to the arts and arts education for all.
WESTAF has long supported public art through technology, convenings, and publications. In 2005, WESTAF developed CallforEntry.org™ (CaFÉ™) to specifically address the arduous, resource-heavy paper submission process that many public art programs struggled with. Then in 2010, WESTAF created the Public Art Archive™ (PAA™), a growing online and mobile database of completed public artworks across the U.S.,to make public art more public. Hundreds of public art organizations across the country have used these systems to streamline their public art processes and bring visibility to their collections.
