Salon Canberra Ideas Forum: Explore the role of public art in place-making, community and culture. Connect with leaders, ignite inspiration!
Public art holds the power to transform spaces, commemorate events, spark discussion, and cultivate cultural tourism. It adds vibrancy to cityscapes and encourages spontaneous public interaction. By enriching the built environment, public art imbues places with character and fosters a sense of belonging, while contributing to the preservation and celebration of our evolving culture and national heritage. From thought-provoking installations to striking sculptures, public art encourages us to engage with our surroundings in fresh and meaningful ways.
Join us as we delve into the multi-faceted impact of public art, including its ability to foster community cohesion, promote dialogue, elevate the cultural landscape, and create great spaces for people. Gain fresh insights into how public art intersects with built infrastructure, shaping the identity and vitality of our cities.
Why attend?
For designers, place makers, community leaders and anyone passionate about enriching our public spaces, this event offers invaluable insights from industry experts and leading design practitioners.
Don’t miss this opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and community leaders. Exchange ideas and gain practical insights into the benefits and possibilities of integrating public art with built infrastructure.
