Anyone can talk to kids about their art, but here are some helpful, open-ended questions to support their early learning and development in the process. 1️⃣ “Tell me about your art…” 2️⃣ “Where did you get your idea?” 3️⃣ “What is your favorite part?” Learn more about why these kinds of questions matter, AND how we bring promising practices in early childhood and museum education together in The cARTie Curriculum at www.cARTie.org.

Stewart CEO of Sotheby’s poses the question: "Have you done enough work to understand the work's significance?" 🤔 Let's connect and create a masterpiece of a financial strategy! 💡 #ArtCollecting #PrivateWealth #GoldmanSachs #sothebys

Public art, often misperceived as merely murals, encompasses diverse forms that significantly enhance our communities. We'll explore inspiring examples from both the public and private sectors, discuss the roles of government initiatives like Percent for Art, and consider public art's impact on quality of life, economic vitality, and cultural identity. Our discussion will address the challenges of public processes, the debate over art versus fabrication, and envision innovative formats for Las Vegas. Key topics include setting requirements for featuring public art in various spaces, strategies for engaging public officials, and ways to shift public perceptions to elevate our entire city through art.

Public art plays a crucial role in shaping our environment—though many may not consciously realise this. Recently, Artelier's curators and I took a team trip to London, exploring the city's public art scene and its most influential works. Our journey led us to the Fourth Plinth, a rotating site that hosts some of the most daring temporary public art. While standing there, we discussed its strength as the archetype of public art in London. It's great art that speaks to the community, yet it's also daring. Though public artworks like those at the Fourth Plinth enjoy a unique freedom of temporality, we hold the same philosophy across all our public art projects - great art should engage with its surroundings, challenge the norm, and spark conversation. After all, what makes better art? Something safe and unnoticeable, or something that stands out, packs a punch, and ignites conversation?
