ANTON MORTON

Anton Morton is a public artist, commissioner, industry consultant, and the Creative Principal of Kasum MANIFOLD. Working directly at the intersection of creative practice and the built environment, his career bridges fine arts disciplines with complex civil infrastructure, architectural integration, and capital delivery. Over a two-decade career, he has conceived, commissioned, and directed more than $30 million in public-facing cultural installations—ranging from monumental freestanding sculptures and engineered architectural facades to transit infrastructure and interactive media.

A recognized advocate for procurement alignment, administrative risk mitigation, and structural reform, Morton authored The Public Art Playbook to establish actionable operational architectures across municipal and private commissioning. He collaborates with government agencies, utility and transit authorities, architectural firms, private developers, and creative studios to deliver complex capital projects with structural cost certainty. His practice has earned prestigious civic and industry recognitions, including the AIA High Design Honor, the Associated General Contractors (AGC) Best of the Best Build Award, and designation as a CODAworx Creative Revolutionary, a Top 50 Public Art Star, and a Top 10 Industry Consultant.

Morton’s practice is grounded in a rare multi-sector foundation that spans fine art, architectural design, commissioning oversight, and licensed trade execution as a union journeyman. An enrolled citizen of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation (Anishinaabe), he operates out of Oklahoma City, collaborating internationally to resolve the friction between high-concept artistic visions and code-compliant, permanent physical realities.
