This is an online workshop.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Communities gain immense value through public art. The cultural, economic, aesthetic, and community building properties associated with public art enhance any space and community it’s in. This workshop will delve into how art institutions can create, collect, exhibit, conserve, and program public art. The workshop will also discuss the importance of public art and social practice. Creating public art in a specific community has the power to directly address social issues faced there, while interacting with and including the community.
