The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts presents Public Art: Community, Participation & Commerce on April 10 at 11:30 a.m. at the Kimball Jenkins Art School.
The event, which runs until 1 p.m., is free and open to all. Adam Blue, education director, AVA Gallery and Art Center in Lebanon, will be the presenter.
To some, public art still conjures up monumental sculptures surrounded by park benches. Yet current public art practices have evolved into a more inclusive participatory experience – where art is made of, by, and for the people. Theses works might be found anywhere, are often impermanent, and are frequently presented to the community for free. Blue will present five past projects and recent work. To learn more contact Elaine Loft, elaine.loft@dcr.nh.gov; or Catherine O’Brian, catherine.r.obrian@dcr.nh.gov, 271-0795.
