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.
Sarah and Joseph Belknap will center their lecture around art practice with found objects and community building. Their event also includes a community artmaking workshop at 8 p.m. under the full moon at the Sunrise Amphitheater in Boulder Open Space.
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.
