PROGRAM
-Facilitated by multi-disciplinary artist and Art on Main studio member, VET.
Public art reflects on a community and its surroundings working to cultivate a cultural identity by setting that community apart and attracting people to its uniqueness. Artwork helps express a community's values and creates an elevated sense of awareness for community members and visitors.
VET will share how art in public places influences the culture of a community and becomes a part of the landscape. Using real world examples from our city and cities around the world she will share reactions from the public vs what the artist had in mind.
Q&A following VET’s presentation.
Wine and light refreshments will be served.
