Public art is creative placemaking — artwork projects that enliven and transform spaces — and connect communities, people, places, and economic opportunities.

Public art is a collaborative process. We work together and take responsibility for the spaces where we live and work.

CODAworx is at the heart of this industry with our events, proprietary software products, publications, and services.

Every creative professional is important, because creating large, complex artwork projects require multiple players.  We know and value them all.

From the commissioner to the installer, it takes many collaborators to complete a large-scale artwork project

The CODAworx RFP software and services connects organizations and companies seeking experienced artists for public art projects. Our staff has unmatched industry knowledge of the commissioned art process, and we sponsor and distribute the most comprehensive list of commission opportunities.

The public art industry is large, dynamic, and growing exponentially every year.  This growth is being fueled by the experience economy - as we all seek out public engagement that is safe, joyful, and provides memorable experiences.

All of the players come together on the CODAworx platform — fostering connections that lead to transactions

New players are investing in public art. Economic development agencies are seeking to drive tourism. Real estate developers are using public art to differentiate their commercial and residential projects.  Businesses are using public art to enhance their brands and elevate employee retention.  

All of this is driving growth of the public art industry and the growth of CODAworx
