The free community event will feature public artist and advocate David Wilson, Art Administrator Melissa Earley, and Public Arts Management Consultant Constance Y White. The event is geared towards emerging and mid-career public artists, public art administrators, and community members interested in public art.

The program will begin at 9:45 a.m., followed by speakers and an afternoon round table discussion. A light lunch will be provided and registration is required.
