Question
I recently received my masters from usc in public art administration. what is your take on this field in your area? Do you know any artists who have had a positive experience working with city people or architects? thank you, julie

Answer
Hello Julie............first congratulations on receiving your masters degree.

Unfortunately I do not know the job prospects on the East Coast [I am located in NJ...just outside NYC].  However, I do know that there are plenty of art related institutions in this area.  Hopefully your placement office will have a handle on the opportunities.

Not sure what your second question means....."positive experience working with city people or architects"....other than to say NYC is a tough place to be.....but very creative.  

Good luck in your search.
