Led by the County's Public Art Administrator, Leslie Fordham, the tour explores 10 public art pieces followed by conversation and a cup of specialty brewed coffee by CoffeeHub. The tours run through April 13, 2017.
The Fresh Cup of Art tour will view paintings and sculptures, commissioned primarily in the 1980s for the Main Library through the Public Art & Design program, and includes scale models created by artists to demonstrate concepts. In addition to viewing art there will be discussions about public art funding and the selection process.
