The City of Boulder is launching an Experiments in Public Art Lecture Series, designed to foster conversations around artistic expression and creative processes in the city. Several of the lectures include a community workshop component, allowing attendees to experiment with their own creations.
Bimmer Torres's lecture will be about his mural practice, from street art and graffiti to large-scale municipal mural projects. His event will also include a community mural-making workshop at the Main Boulder Public Library in collaboration with Street Wise Arts.
The Experiments in Public Art program serves as a city-wide laboratory expanding the potential of public art. Unlike a traditional public art commission, Experiments in Public Art projects are as much an experiment for the community as they are opportunities for artists to work within unconventional parameters.
