MONUMENTS: Overview of an Exhibition

The Association for Public Art will celebrate its 150th Anniversary as the nation’s first private, non-profit organization dedicated to the integration of public art and urban design. Programming for this landmark year will include a virtual speaker series, “Insights: The Future of Public Art”, that reflects on aPA’s mission to commission, preserve, interpret and promote public art in Philadelphia.

On Tuesday, December 6th join us for a virtual presentation and discussion with Hamza Walker, director of LAXART, a Los Angeles-based alternative art space. Walker will discuss MONUMENTS, an exhibition being co-organized by LAXART and LA MOCA that will open in fall 2023.  The exhibition will feature decommissioned monuments shown alongside contemporary art, many of which will be commissioned for the exhibition. Walker will discuss artists’ responses to the monuments and their related themes.
