Berkeley, a city known for leading change, deserve Berkeley, a city known for leading change, deserves a public art framework that does the same. 

We’re honored to have been selected to develop Berkeley’s Public Art Strategic Plan for @berkeley_civic_arts , and we’re diving in with a focus on what we care about most: policies that are equitable and forward-thinking, systems that are practical and achievable, and a vision that invites artists and community to shape civic life in meaningful ways.

Dyson & Womack will shape the future of public art in Berkeley through an approach that bridges creative vision and practical implementation. By aligning artistic innovation with civic priorities, our firm will refine lasting cultural infrastructure, programs, policies, and partnerships that ensure public art remains a dynamic, accessible, and transformative force in public life.

With over a decade of experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives, Dyson & Womack has guided cities and agencies across the U.S. in developing arts and culture master plans, public art plans, strategic frameworks, and implementation programs. Our work combines deep knowledge of cultural policy with a hands-on understanding of needs and impacts of arts and culture across communities.
Dyson & Womack will be closed on Friday, January 3 Dyson & Womack will be closed on Friday, January 30th in solidarity with the national shutdown following the recent events in Minneapolis and increasing escalation of violence and kidnappings across Los Angeles and the country.

Dyson & Womack is excited to share the 2026 PAiD Program FREE online professional development workshops for artists — a series we’ve developed with @lacountyarts to help artists confidently navigate the world of public art.

This new cycle of workshops dives deeper into topics like financial and project management, overcoming creative blocks, working with fabricators, and more, all designed to support your long-term artistic career. 

Check out the first six workshop topics, register to attend upcoming sessions, and revisit recordings from the first series through the link in our bio. More workshops focused on fabrication, engineering, and materials are coming this spring ✨

We are thrilled to introduce the second cohort of We are thrilled to introduce the second cohort of the PAiD (Public Artists in Development) Artist Council! ✨

The PAiD Artist Council is an initiative co-developed and managed by Dyson & Womack, in partnership with the @lacountyarts Civic Art Division. As the consulting team leading the Council, we guide the program’s policy review process, support artists through project planning and production, and help translate PAiD’s goals into real opportunities for artists across LA County.

This year’s eight Council members bring a wide range of creative practices, lived experiences, and perspectives to the work ahead:

Over the coming months, we’ll convene policy sessions, facilitate collaboration with Civic Art staff and field leaders, and manage the commissioning process that supports each artist in developing a temporary public artwork rooted in PAiD’s core themes. We can’t wait to share their progress in the new year.

PAiD is an initiative of the @lacountyarts Civic Art Division designed to expand access to public art and support the career growth of underrepresented artists. The program is made possible through a generous grant from the @mellonfoundation.

A Frame for a Tree, a monumental new public artwor A Frame for a Tree, a monumental new public artwork by Charles Gaines has received unanimous approval by council for final fabrication and installation in Culver City —Dyson & Womack is honored to continue to lead this project into its final phase of realization. 

This project, years in the making, was a deep collaboration between Charles Gaines, Dyson & Womack, the City of Culver City, and project team members including arborists, engineers, and design partners. A Frame for a Tree honors both the site’s historical roots and the vision of one of contemporary art’s most influential figures.

Charles Gaines—renowned artist, educator, conceptual pioneer, and Los Angeles icon—creates this permanent public artwork in Culver City, one of his first permanent pieces in Southern California. The towering metal structure frames a beloved Ficus tree, becoming a viewfinder for the city: a lens through which we reflect on identity, history, and collective progress.

As Los Angeles prepares to welcome the world in 2028, this work stands as a gateway and a testament. We’re proud to help bring this vision to life.
