Hi Pradeep!
Have you managed to find some datasets or other listings with public artworks in India (be it on the national, regional or local level)? A small pilot version of the contest should still be possible to organize if you have!
Best,
John

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] [WikiLovesPublicArt] Would you like to be part of the international jury for WLPA?
Hi Pradeep,
Have you been successful identifying any list(s) of artworks? If you don't find a national list you might be able to find a regional or municipal list that you could use instead this year - to try out the concept. Most countries, sadly, seem to lack a national database of artworks.
Kind regards,
John

hi,
Continuing the conversation here.
A few people in India have expressed interest in doing WLPA. I am looking for a listing of public art in India. Any help in this regard would be of help.
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Hi Pradeep,
I don't know anyone in the GLAM sector in India so I can't really give you any insights. However, I do have a few suggestions where you could ask to find someone who knows more:
* Perhaps the GLAMs in India that you have been in contact with before could be of assistance?
* It might be an idea to post a question on WikiProject Visual Arts. There are a lot of great people hanging around there. :)
* Someone on the Cultural partners mailing list might know what Indian organizations to contact.
Also, perhaps we should move the discussion about Wikimedia India's participation to Wiki Loves Public Art's mailing list instead: wikilovespublicart at lists.wikimedia.org? There might be some knowledgeable people there that might be able to help.
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
I apologise if this is seen as going off-topic for this list.
One of the principal problem that we are trying to address vis-a-vis public art in India is the lack of a central repository of lists of such a work.
For WLM, we had such a list provided by the Archaeological Survey of India, which defined monuments in India. I have, thus far not seen any similar definition or institution for public art in India.
However, we are trying to solve this issue by talking to art institutions in general and certain organisations that do public art performance in India like The Wall Project, Khoj International.
At this level, I guess it would help if we can get contacts or introductions to people whom we can speak to in India, in this regard.
Thanks,
Pradeep Mohandas,

Hi Niraj,
Thank you kindly for your offer!
This initiative is not only for European Chapters and Wikimedia India is more than welcome to participate if you would like to organize the contest in India! It would be great if you would!
As Wikimedia Sweden's involvement is financed by Europeana any direct financial support (from our project budget) can only be given to European Chapters (e.g. for my work time or for costs of hosting websites etc.). However, I would be happy to assist Wikimedia India with my volunteer hat on if there is something that you are wondering about! :)
Cheers,
John

Hey,
Great Initiative and all the best wishes for the same.
Thanks to Noopur for sharing.
Sadly its only for Chapters in European Union!
But would be glad to help in any way possible.

Hi Rachel!
Sorry for the very late response. I had totally missed your email.
Currently there are no one working on Wiki Loves Public Art in the U.S., but today I have emailed a few Wikimedians based in the U.S. that previously showed interest in the contest to let them know about your offer!
Kind regards,
John

Hi everyone,
I want to introduce myself and my project because we love public art too! I
manage a new searchable multi-media database of completed public art
projects, called the Public Art
Archive<http://www.publicartarchive.org/content/about-public-art-archive>.
The project is managed by a regional arts service organization, the Western
States Arts Federation (WESTAF <http://westaf.org>) based in Denver,
Colorado. If there is anyone interested in doing a WLPA project in the
western portion of the U.S. and would like for their content to also appear
in the Public Art Archive, please contact me.
Looking forward to seeing how the contest goes!
Best,
*Rachel J. Cain*
