EcoArt South Florida will assist and participate in the first of these steps
with a potential EcoArt Node, probono: namely: engage with a small group of
key stakeholders regarding what EcoArt is, how it can enhance ongoing
environmental stewardship and direct ecological intervention projects in your
area; and additional steps that can be taken to move toward EcoArt Node status.
Following that gathering, EcoArt South Florida will be happy to present a
proposal responsive to the outcome of the meeting with specifics on steps and
costs for EcoArt South Florida's ongoing assistance.
EcoArt South Florida recommends that an initial group of stakeholders brought
together to consider establishing an EcoArt Node should include:
● at least one each local architect, civil engineer and landscape architect,
preferably LEED AP, involved previously with public art and public artists, and
involved in the Palm Beach County USGBC branch;

2. ● one or more local artists who have been actively engaged with
environmental advocacy, preferably also who have experience in public art
projects where they have worked closely across discipline with other design
professionals (architects, engineers, landscape architects);
● environmental professionals in local municipal government agencies, and
the South Florida Water Management District, preferably who have worked with
public art previously--preferably also LEED APs;
● local university professors in art and environmental science departments,
especially any who have already worked to team teach courses in
environmentally-oriented art;
● leaders in the most active environmental advocacy organizations in the
county (eg Sierra Club, Florida Native Plant Society, Audubon Society, 1000
Friends of Florida), especially those who have been involved with public art
previously;
● sustainability staff at the municipal level;
● art in public places professionals (curators, project managers, etc.) and/or
AIPP committee chairs or board members.
