chapel hill north carolina

Thank you to everyone who made Public Art 360 a stimulating and educational experience for 200 participants: attendees, speakers, panel facilitators, volunteers, and sponsors. What began as a Southeast states convening became a national gathering to discuss public art through interdisciplinary intersections. We are honored by your commitment to the field and your substantial efforts to advance our collective practice of public art. Over the next few weeks, we will post conference photographs, video, images of public art, and bibliographic resources for the field. Please let us know how we can support your work!
