ART IN PUBLIC SPACES

FREE SUMMER WORKSHOP WITH THE MUSEUM of MODERN ART
AND THE FORT GREENE PARK CONSERVANCY

July 18, 22, 25, 29 from 10am-12.30pm (note it is a Monday/Friday schedule)

Lunch will be included.

Must attend all sessions.

Ever wonder how that piece of artwork got in the middle of the park or on that street corner?  Did the community ask for it?  Did the artist donate the work?  Who installed the work?  How did they get the go ahead?  Where did the money come from?

The Fort Greene Park Conservancy partners up with the Museum of Modern Art for a free outdoor public art project in Fort Greene Park. The workshop will begin to answer these questions and expose YOU to the breadth and depth of careers in the arts.  We will discuss ways contemporary artists use art to engage with a community and public space AND develop a final public art work that the class creates collectively.

There will be a field trip to MoMA in September where we’ll discuss the project, the museum’s collection and meet potential employers.  At this time you will receive a certificate of completion and any references requested.

There is a limited number of slots for this class. If you’d like to participate, you must attend all of the classes!
