Description

Did you know Chandler is a leader in public art? When you’re out and about in Chandler you might spy a utility box adorned with cactus wrens and quail, walk through an archway of giant metal flowers, or snap a selfie next to a mural that radiates color. What do these diverse creations have in common? Since 1983, Chandler has developed innovative, sustainable ways to fund and acquire artworks that are relevant to neighborhoods and accessible to everyone. Join us as Peter Bugg, Visual Arts Coordinator for the City of Chandler, reveals the history of our city’s highly regarded public art program. Stay after the program to enjoy the exhibition Public Objects: Artwork from the City's Permanent Collection, on view at Chandler Museum until March 27, 2022.
