Join us for an interesting conversation about the role of art in our built environment. In the absence of public policy, guiding the commissioning and making of art an integral and normal part of Victoria's urban environment, falls to private initiatives and patronage. How this occurs may point the way to aesthetically and culturally enrich life in this place. It is hoped that this kind of event will encourage meaningful dialogue among those who invest in and those who make art, as a normal way of developing urban property.
