Partners in Art in partnership with The Power Plant presents a free public event this Wednesday November 15, 6:30 pm

PUBLIC ART: Why should we care? A Conversation

Bring your curiosity. Bring friends. Bring your questions.
Public art is a powerful vehicle that stimulates conversation, changes perspectives, and can delight or provoke us. Join leading Toronto-based thinkers in an inspirational conversation about the possibilities of excellence in public art.

1 compelling idea + 4 unique thinkers = A Great Conversation

An Te Liu, Artist
Marianne McKenna, Architect and Founding Partner, KPMB
Moderated by Gail Lord, President and Co-Founder, Lord Cultural Resources

Each speaker will present their personal views on the power of excellent public art. We will then have an open conversation on the myriad possibilities. RSVP REQUIRED! Please email events@partnersinart.ca to RSVP
