  • Public Art Life Cycle Part 2: Maintenance to Mayhem

    Online Webcast

    This second presentation in a two-part series will begin post-installation. We will look at best practices and federal and state laws pertaining to the maintenance and conservation of public art works. The presentation will focus on how communities and public art programs address issues of retaining, repairing, relocating, and removing public art. From current court cases challenging the application of the Visual Artists Rights Act to street art, to the heated debates raging over the removal of monuments, we will explore the hot topics challenging public art programs and making newspaper headlines. The presentation will last approximately one hour with at least 30 minutes for questions and answers.

    Online Webcast

    This session shares frameworks that can serve as a tool for public- and private-sector actors to shape a vision of an intentional planning decision-making ecosystem that ensures equity is centered in public investments in: access - transit and local mobility; community health from an all age lens and a rural-urban lens; financing cross-generational services and needs across the life cycle; and 2Gen strategies to break the cycle of poverty and replace with opportunity.
