Event Description

The Madison Arts Commission is inviting the community to attend a public meet-and-greet with mosaic artist Laurel True of True Mosaics Studio, who will be designing the public art for the new purpose-built men's shelter on Bartillon Drive.

This meeting provides an opportunity for community members to learn more about the artist the Madison Arts Commission commissioned to create the planned artwork for the Bartillon Men’s Shelter and for them to provide input on this meaningful project that will enhance the shelter and the vicinity. True will share information about her artistic practice, and neighborhood stakeholders will have the opportunity to inform her about their values and ideals in order to inform the design of the public art she is creating for the shelter.

The art will be located on the front of the building and visible from Bartillon Drive. It will fit into five planned openings on the south elevation of the building.
