#IAmPublicArt

On Saturday, September 24, 6:00 p.m. - Midnight, The Carnegie Center for Art & History is hosting our annual New Albany Public Art Project event down at the New Albany Riverfront Amphitheater. This year's event is titled #IAmPublicArt and will incorporate a wide range of opportunities for visitors to experience and participate in creative expression, hands on activities for all ages, and food and drink vendors.

The event will feature three Pop-Up Art Installations created by students from local universities - one piece each by students from Indiana University Southeast, University of Louisville, and Kentucky College of Art + Design. The installations will be unique creations employing multiple media made specifically for the spaces they inhabit, to be viewed and experienced for one night only. In addition to the art installations, there will a strong slate of performers from Louisville and Southern Indiana on the Amphitheater stage curated by Louisville artist and renaissance man, Jecorey Arthur, aka 1200.
