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.
Molly Gambardella's lecture will be focused on climate change and the use of recycled materials in artmaking. Her event will include an installation of large-scale recycled flowers around the library for the weekend.
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.
