Students in Public Art (Art 215) are experienced studio artists who bring diverse skills and interests to the creation of art for the public sphere.

 

To gain an understanding of audience, scale, and location we study and write about the practice of public and community-based art before committing to and executing a major project.  Our projects are the result of testing and critical feedback. Along with sponsors and supporters across campus we involve the Committee on Public Art set up through Wake Forest Galleries and Collections as active respondents to approve our work.

 

We want to thank members of that Committee who helped nurture and guide our work: Christina Soriano, Associate Provost for the Arts, Jennifer Finkel, Aquavella Curator of Collections, Paul Sheff, Director of Buildings and Grounds, Sarah Lewiecki, '99 Graduate and class veteran, Phil Archer, Deputy Director of Reynolda House,  and Jon Rotheling, Director of Reynolda Gardens.

Lastly, our instructor David Finn, Professor and Chair of Art WFU, Member and Chair, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Public Art Commission.
