  • As our city grows and public funding changes, what is the state of public art? How can we find unique ways to expand the role that artists play in public life?

    And for independent artists and creative types—with all the talk about public art opportunities in Austin—have you been wondering how public art applies to you?

    Join special guest Sharon Louden, alongside friends from Future Front Texas, Raasin In The Sun, Austin’s Airport Passenger Experience and more for a candid and casual roundtable on Sunday, April 12 from 1 to 3 PM. Free for all.

    Together, we’ll chat through:

    • the intersections of public art, public programming and public space

    • unique, real-life ways each artist and organization have structured projects to support public life and solve infrastructure problems, including deep-dives into:

      • recent public art projects at the Austin Airport

      • Raasin In The Sun’s ART FOR ALL initiative

      • ideas and recent experiments for sustainable creative work from Sharon Louden

      • case studies from recent Future Front programs

    • what you should be considering if you’re going after public arts grants and public funding

    All creative disciplines and experience levels welcome.
