1 Day of the CEC Artslink Publicly Creative: A Public Art Workshop.

Great Presentation by Kendal! Made me think of the Anish Kaoopr piece in Chicago I saw last year. I couldn’t help myself and did what everyone else did take pictures. Great work in a the right location.










ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:CEC Artslink presents Publicly Creative: A Public Art Workshop. Public art is a fast-growing discipline with many unexplored opportunities for artists and communities. This workshop is a hands-on intensive introduction to the field, outlining resources, logistics, opportunities, and examples of successful collaborations. Recognizing artistic initiative as a valuable asset and a catalyst for a dialogue and transformation, we will explore how site-specific collaborations in varied cultural, geographic and political areas can influence business, social awareness and economic development. Encouraging close inspection of the particular issues faced by a specific New York community chosen by the participants, the workshop and the resulting public art work(s) will provide a unique platform for the participants and the public to explore and appropriate the city’s landscapes.
