Executive Summary: The Americans for the Arts 2004 Annual Convention's preconference "Public Art: Civic Catalyst" is the only conference nationally that is devoted to issues of public art programs. The kind of issues that will be addressed by presenters and panelists are common to all public art programs; learning about solutions to these issues will strengthen the public art program of the City of Palm Desert and the Art in Public Places Commission. The preconference also offers a unique opportunity to network with other members of the public art field. Submitted By: and L.

Using Washington, DC, as a launching point for study and discussion, the public art conference will explore three focus areas: © Cultural identity and the redefinition of civic space, as well as the use of public art as a tool for their development © Memorials and the federal government: their role and contribution to the history and evolution of the nation's public art © New technologies: their influence on public art and their effect on the interpretation/ mediation of public space These topics will be examined through both a national and local lens with key speakers, panels, case studies, and tours. Also featured are the Year in Review, a survey of the year's most innovative and exciting public art projects; the presentation of the Public Art Network Award; and evening receptions at the City Museum of Washington, DC, and the Art Museum of the Americas at the Organization of American States. 7:30 PM-9:30 PM 8:00 AM 8:25 AM-8:50 AM 9:00 AM-9:10 AM 9:15 AM-10:00 AM 10:05 AM-12:05 PM 12:15 PM-1:10 PM WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 2004 ART AND ABOUT: AN INSIDER'S TOUR OF OUR NATIONAL MALL Open to preconference attendees and guests. $29-Limited participation; register early!
