Hi PAN Listserv,
I wanted to share an incredible public art opportunity for artists to submit qualifications for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s and Coretta Scott King Memorial in Boston. Next Monday (2/5, 7-8PM EST) we will be hosting an informational webinar to field questions from artist/teams interested in applying. The video will be made available after the date via our YouTube channel.
If you know any artists that would be interested, please encourage them to apply or join the webinar. Please see the MLK Boston website at www.mlkboston.org for general updates and questions. For art process related questions, contact Karin Goodfellow, Director of the Boston Art Commission at the City of Boston, at BAC@Boston.gov.
Best,
-Chris
