Public Art: New Ways of Thinking and Working symposium will be hosted by the Department of Visual Art and Art History at York University on May 18, 19, and 20, 2017. Going Public will offer a forum for emerging research, challenging debate and the establishment of a sustained dialogue in the discipline of public art from the perspective of both studies and practice. This will be accomplished by including a wide range of Canadian cultural, political, social, and pedagogical perspectives across the disciplines of visual arts, architecture, art history, city planning, engineering, and urban studies.
