"Public Art 360: Symposium from Seven Perspectives," is a conferene April 11–12, 2008, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This conference, say the sponsors, will "address current and future orientations on public art from the perspectives of the artist, architect, landscape architect, government, private interests, community and critic, recognizing the inherent complexities in a public art process when multiple constituencies need voice and there is potential for conflicting perspectives among commissioning organizations, review agencies, elected officials, taxpayers, design professionals and artists." Seven keynote discussions will frame critical issues associated with how public art projects can be initiated, approved, funded and implemented; how to reinforce shared objectives through a public review process; and implications for public policy. Speakers include nationally prominent practitioners from the field. Area tours feature local public art and artist studios, including Durham's Golden Belt, a new artist live-work housing-redevelopment project. [LINK]
