The 2013 Public Art Network (PAN) Preconference is THE public art educational and networking opportunity of the year! Using local case-studies and breakout sessions, public art professionals will explore the intersection of public art engagement, evaluation, ethics, education, and more. Case study tours of Pittsburgh’s vibrant public art scene will illustrate important issues facing the field and will culminate in a PAN reception at the Mattress Factory—the internationally renowned installation art museum. Join us to dig deep into critical issues facing our field and be sure not to miss the opportunity to see how public art contributes to Pittsburgh being called America’s most livable city.

The Public Art Network Preconference is generously supported in part by the McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory.
