FIRST WORKSHOP- WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 AT 10AM

I always like starting a workshop with a presentation about public art. It helps us all begin from the same starting point and have a point of reference for initial conversations. I also find that these presentations can inspire us to think outside the box and increase our public art vocabulary. This opening presentation will lead the discussions on how public art practices can help improve our community and ourselves.

Please join me - it will be fun!

    As usual, Kendal's presentation was up-lifting and demonstrated how valuable public art is, and what could be possible on St. Croix. Raised on St. Croix, Kendal has a unique perspective of our beautiful island. We are looking forward to hearing what the community of artists and community leaders can come up with. Stay tuned!
