Join Socrates Sculpture Park's Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, Curator and Director of Exhibitions, and Katie Dixon, Co-Director in conversation with artists Jeffrey Meris, Sandy Williams IV, and Randi Renate, all former Socrates Artist Fellows.
Together, they will explore the artists' multidisciplinary practices and journeys into public art, including their experiences at Socrates, and discuss how they navigate opportunities to realize ambitious public artworks as early-career artists. The conversation will also reflect on the crucial role that arts organizations play in supporting artistic experimentation and risk-taking in the public sphere, creating pathways for emerging voices in a field that has often been challenging for artists to access.
