SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION

What is public art? Why is it important? What can it do for a community? Sculpture: A Wyoming Invitational, an exhibition organized by the University of Wyoming Art Museum for locations on- and off-campus, interjected new life into the Laramie community, created new partnerships that crossed town-gown lines, and has had unanticipated impacts. Learn about how this program was created and implemented and lessons learned about how other communities might consider public art in their towns.
