This exciting event will not only serve as a celebration of public art, but
as a comprehensive convention of both experienced and emerging artists, as
well as senior and rising administrators. The collaboration of interests will

Asheville
has a distinct reputation as one of the best
small cities in America with numerous accolades and notable attractions,
as well as nationally considered one of the top arts communities and destinations
to experience.
Sitting in a valley between the Appalachian Mountains and the Great Smokey
Mountains, Asheville is surrounded by natural wholesome beauty. September
should prove to be a delightful month to visit the area and attend such a
conference as PA360. We invite you to stay and enjoy what the region has to
offer after the conference concludes at noon on Saturday.
The City of Asheville is excited to host such an event as PA360 and we look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to the conversation and experience of public art.
Sincerely,
Julie Calhoun-Roepnack
Chair of the Public Art Board
