Performance Art + Public Space with Jasmine Hearn

Public Art Training Camp is a comprehensive six-week program that delves into the facets of public art process and production, from the vibrant world of public art opportunities to the intricacy of documenting and creating work samples.

Public Art Training Camp 2023 topics were developed from two roundtable discussions involving past Public Art Training Camp participants. This year features new session formats that incorporate roundtable suggestions to engage audience members and encourage participation.
