Description: As the art community in your area grows, the need for venues to show and exhibit work becomes greater. The need for venues has lead to a new way of thinking about public art. Instead of one master artist like Michelangelo or Picasso creating a singular piece, public art is becoming more of an ongoing process. Public art can be created by many artists, changing and evolving over time. The contrast between the two types of public art is very telling of how contemporary society views art and its interaction with the community.
The article describes “Walking Mural Tours” in which participants will be able to tour various locations in your community that have an abundance of interesting artwork on display. The tours will begin at the Governor’s Summer Review where participants will have a chance to view the best that your area has to offer in this new form of public art.

The Governor’s Summer Reviews will showcase the best in new and established exhibitions, performances and events taking place across the state from June 15 through September 15. The program will be highlighted by a series of walking tours of current art that is going on in your own community.
The purpose of this program is to foster an appreciation for the visual arts among our citizens and to encourage them to visit galleries and museums throughout the state. Our hope is that increased awareness and exposure to contemporary art will stimulate interest in participating in local arts activities, offer new insights and inspiration, and deepen involvement with the visual arts.
Tina Kukielski, Director of Cultural Affairs for the City of Rochester, said: “With the Governor’s Summer Reviews, we have a golden opportunity to promote both the cultural assets of our region as well as showcase our vision for the future development of arts education programs in schools.”
The programs will be organized by four regional panels comprised of representatives from local communities, businesses and universities. Each panel has been assigned a geographic region within New York State. Panelists have been charged with identifying major participatory art events taking place during their respective time period. Panelists have also been asked to develop a program for encouraging local businesses to participate in these initiatives by hosting open houses or
In the cities, summer is a great time for art. Most of the museums are open on weekends, and the weather is nice. In Portland , Ore., there are different types of art all over the city: public art, outdoor murals and sculptures, street fairs, and many other events.
There are also many events that have nothing to do with art. An event that is taking place right now in Portland is a three-day festival called Holi (a Hindi word meaning “the festival of color”). It celebrates color by throwing colored powder at each other.
The Governor’s Summer Review is an arts festival that takes place in Oregon during the last weekend of June. Fifty thousand people come to watch 200 performances by different artists, musicians and dancers. The Governor’s Summer Review has been going on since 1969. It is one of the biggest outdoor arts festivals in the Pacific Northwest .
One of the main activities at this event is an art walk called “Walking Mural Tour.” People hit the streets with their cameras to see as many murals as they can in two hours. These murals are mostly done by local artists who use them to express their views about current events or politics. There are about 50 murals around Portland .
The Governor’s Summer Reviews are a major event at the end of summer. They are typically held on the grounds of the state capitol and have become a popular and important cultural event for artists and art lovers alike. They are also often attended by many people from out of state, as well as from neighboring towns, who look forward to seeing what will be shown each year.
Tours are given that take visitors to different parts of the grounds where many different artists’ works are displayed. These tours take place throughout the day and last approximately an hour. The tour is led by an expert guide who explains the history of art in our area, as well as giving information about some of the more well-known artists who have worked here in the past.
The guides also offer information about upcoming shows that will be held in various galleries throughout the town and surrounding areas, so people can stay on top of which new artists they would like to watch. Many people say that these tours really help them decide which galleries they would like to visit in order to see more of these types of works firsthand.
Artists of all mediums come together in the Governor’s Summer Review, now in its 24th year. Held every two years at the Clinton Street Theater, this event showcases art from all over the state and allows artists to network with others in their fields. This is a great opportunity for artists to meet each other and gain a greater understanding of the artistic community in our state.
“We’re not selling anything,” says artist Barbara Eberhardt, “we’re just sharing art.”
This free event is open to anyone interested in art and includes many different mediums such as painting, photography and printmaking.
“People are going to see a lot of diversity,” says artist Robin Sinkhorn, who has been coming to the Art Show for four years. “They’re going to find pieces that they might like to have.”
While most of the pieces are for sale, there are some that are not because they are part of an ongoing project. For example, one artist had his paintings on display but informed them that he wouldn’t sell any until he had completed his project. The Governor’s Summer Review will last until July 25th with theme nights being held on Monday and Thursday.
In the exhibition, Wilson and the other participants were given examples of Native American art to study. These ranged from pre-Contact basketry to contemporary jewelry and beadwork, to an actual tipi, to a number of “story circles,” which are different from a quilt in that they are made by women sitting in a circle with their sewing machines. The story circles created by Wilson during the workshop will be on display at the event.
Wilson explains the process of making a story circle: “You get together with some friends and you decide what you want to make, whether it’s for someone who’s ill or whether it’s for a wedding present or whatever, and you just sit down and start sewing together. It’s not like you plan it out and make one part at a time. You’re just sitting there talking as you sew, so it’s like this is my bead and I’m going to put it here because that’s where I want my flower to go.”
The beads used in beading are called “seed beads” because they appear as seeds on plants such as lupine. The plants are harvested by Natives across the country, dried, sorted and sent off to seed bead companies such as Delica (which has its headquarters in Japan
Art is one of the most expansive forms of expression, yet it has a relatively short history. It’s hard to believe that art has only been around for about 5,000 years! Art is created from a variety of different materials including; stone, clay, paint, paper, and more recently glass.
Art was first used to tell stories and also to worship gods. For example archaeologists have found a huge number of ancient cave paintings in Southern Europe. Other famous art forms such as pottery were first created for religious purposes.
The purpose of art has evolved over time and has now become one of the main ways we communicate. Artists have now become public figures used to express ideas and thoughts which otherwise would not be heard. They are now able to reach people through media like television and the internet.
Art can be produced by anyone regardless of age or skill level. Anyone can make art at any time or place they choose making it very accessible to the general public. This opens up an opportunity for people who may not be able to participate in events like theater or dance because they do not live near a city with a professional performing arts program or they lack the money needed to join an organization like this.
