The forum will feature a panel of San Diego’s leaders, educators and experts in the field of public art. Moderated by art critic and writer Robert Pincus, the panelists include Larry Baza, gallery owner and SD Commissioner for Art and Culture; Gail Goldman, art consultant and former SD City Public Art Director; Joanne Hayakawa, SD Commissioner for Art and Culture; Lynn Susholtz, artist and educator, and Kara West, SD Library Arts and Culture Exhibitions Manager.
The panelists will comment on how public art can express civic values, enhance the environment, transform a landscape, heighten community awareness, and/or question assumptions. Primary discussion topics will center on the value of public art and its ability to act as a catalyst; its capacity to enrich multicultural dimensions, and how public art conveys a sense of time and place.
Sponsored by the Mesa College Humanities Institute and Public Art Committee, the forum will take place in from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 30, in room G-102, with a reception following. The event is free and open to the public. Parking is also free.
