Open Forum: ‘Public Art: Who Cares?’

What is 'public art'? Should it please us or provoke us? Should we get what we like - or what artists think we need?

An expert panel will be debating these issues and more as part of a free panel discussion on Friday 11 September (13.15-14.00) in Gallery 3 of The Fitzwilliam Museum.

Speakers at this Open Forum are:

• Timothy Potts, Director, The Fitzwilliam Museum
• Maggi Hambling, Artist
• Richard Cork, Art critic
• Helaine Blumenfeld, Sculptor
• David Wright, Director, Commissions East
• Councillor Sian Reid, Cambridge City Council
• Bill Gredley, Chairman of the Unex Group and sponsor of The Fitzwilliam Museum Sculpture Promenade

No booking is required, but places will be allocated on a first-first-come first-served basis.

Part of the University of Cambridge’s Open Cambridge weekend.
