North Carolina is blessed with a number of examples of cities who follow plans for the intentional integration of public art into their landscapes. A gathering of folks from those cities and from places interested in public art throughout the southeast, and of nationally known experts in the field, attended a fascinating and insightful conference last week in Chapel Hill. "Public Art 360" was a series of panel discussions on best practices and challenges in public art creation, siting, and management from the perspectives of seven different "publics": artists, critics, governments, architects, private developers, landscape architects, and communities. We'll be posting information gleaned from this event over the coming weeks. The event's website remains open for information and inspirations.
