Reintroducing PUBLIC WORKS, the Nashville Design Week 2023 Community Art Showcase. Each year, the festival features local artists, designers, and makers that represent the spirit of the year's core values. The 2023 Concept was all about *purpose* and the participating 5 artists were asked to vision a sculpture that reflects their design purpose. These came to life as 3x3 foot "spheres" in homage to the Design Week brand identity. 

There are also a collection of small circles painted by 3rd graders that connect together in a unique three dimensional form. Each student shared their own purpose by filling in the blank, “Design for _____,” and writing it on the back of their circle.

The sculptures will be showcased at the Civic Design Center Sandra Schatten Community Room during the March 2nd Downtown Art Crawl. Check out the map here to follow the whole route.
