The Future History of Public Art

WESTAF’s 17th Cultural Policy Symposium

 

Proceedings from WESTAF’s 17th cultural policy symposium, The Future History of Public Art, are now available online. This gathering of public art practitioners and allied professionals convened in Honolulu, Hawai’i on November 5-7, 2017. The event was organized by WESTAF in collaboration with Forecast Public Art and the Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
The symposium provided a significant platform for high-level discourse to explore existing challenges alongside emerging strategies for the successful growth of the public art field. Symposium attendees traveled from six countries to take part in the convening, including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. This convening was organized as a way to reflect on the challenges public art practitioners face and propose ways in which the field can develop to provide a stronger infrastructure in support of the advancement of the field as a whole.

During this course, students engage with a range of aspects in the field of Public Art, including creative skills, curatorial practice, fundraising, project management and public art theories. This MA is one of the founding members of the International Masters Network for Art in Public Space, developing links with leading masters in this area, across the world. The course also enjoys a unique connection with CREATURE (London Met’s own research centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement), particularly with its strand Public-Face: through this, MA graduates are invited to continue to be part of a thriving research community upon completion of their degree.
