Executive Summary: The Americans for the Arts 2005 Annual Convention's preconference "Lay of the Land" Public Art, Politics, and the Environment" is the only conference nationally that is devoted to issues of public art programs. The kind of issues that will be addressed by presenters and panelists are common to all public art programs; learning about solutions to these issues will strengthen the public art program of the City of Palm Desert and the Art in Public Places Commission. The preconference also offers a unique opportunity to network with other members of the public art field.
