INSIDE PUBLIC ART

A lecture and book signing by Michele Cohen, author ofPublic Art for Public Schools

Presented in collaboration with and sponsored by the Department of Art History and Art of Case Western Reserve University.

Michele Cohen will draw upon her years of experience as Director of the New York City School Construction Authority'sPublic Art for Public Schools program (1989-2009) to provide a behind the scenes look at the commissioning of public sculpture - what makes a successful proposal, what a public or private institution is often looking for in a commission, how the review process proceeds, and what ultimately makes a long lasting and long lastingly successful public sculpture. Ms. Cohen is now Director of the Trustman Gallery and Assistant Professor of Arts Administration at Simmons College,

All those interested in contemporary art, as well as practicing artists, current art students, and art history students interested in contemporary art, are invited to be part of this rare opportunity to understand the behind the scenes decisions that lead to the public art we all love or love to hate.

The book signing is courtesy of Appletree Books at Cedar Fairmount in Cleveland Heights. Buy local.
