Raising Awareness, Making Art Accessible: Urban Art Website Design

RocketFuel was extremely proud to be chosen by UrbanArt to design and develop a new web site for their organization.  The primary goal of this project was to help UrbanArt streamline their process for managing public art projects.  In doing so, we developed an online Artist's Registry which allows for artist's to complete a profile online to be published on UrbanArt's site.  Each profile can contain the artist's bio, resume, link to their own web site and most importantly, images of their work.  As part of a second phase of the project, RocketFuel is developing an online bidding process which will allow UrbanArt to post RFQ's online.  Artists that are members of the registry will then be able to sign in and apply for a project.  Once all submissions have been received, UrbanArt's selection committees will be able to access a members section of the site to review and choose artists as finalists for the open project.  This online process is going to replace a very manual and time intensive process for UrbanArt.  Our hope is that it enables them to sponsor more public art projects and increase advocacy and awareness in the community.
