The history of public art is fraught with challenges: it is often relegated to the status of decoration. But in San José, public art is much more than an afterthought or ornamental enhancement. Michael Ogilvie, director of public art for the City of San José, will discuss public art as a catalyst for a participatory, thoughtful, and active civic landscape.
Lunchtime Lectures take place on the first Wednesday of each month in the Charlotte Wendel Education Center. Visitors are welcome to bring food and beverages.
