Public Art Preconference
Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Preconference
June 7–8, 2012
San Antonio’s vibrant history and culture inform its diverse public art collection, rich urban fabric, and architectural landscape.
Hosted at a dynamic cultural hub, the Public Art Network (PAN) Preconference highlights Pearl—a new adaptive re-use project intermixing the old and new, sited along the renowned River Walk.
Participatory visioning sessions will offer discussion on critical public art issues in these uncertain times.
Information resource mentors will provide strategic assistance to address challenges and opportunities in your community. PAN is the source, San Antonio the place, so join us in June!
