About this event

  • 3 hours

The Utility Box Program: This session will celebrate the much-loved Utility Box Program, from its beginnings as a graffiti abatement program to its current role as community connector and the other programs it has inspired.

Public Art 101 is a series of professional development workshops designed for artists, community groups and commissioning bodies who would like to learn more about the unique needs of developing a successful public art project.

Workshop topics are developed based on requests from the community and are intended to demystify the public art process in all phases of development. Sessions are free and open to all who are interested in attending. Each session will have a formal presentation, time for Q&A and an informal networking session afterwards.
