Thank you to everyone who came out for Building for the Outdoors! Participants gained useful installation tips for projections, water-based works, murals, mosaics, and stainless steel sculpture. Rika Smith McNally, Public Art Conservator for the Cambridge Arts Council, demonstrated the many ways conservators can help public artists with pre-fabrication reviews. Miss the event? A video recording will be uploaded to NEFA's YouTube channel shortly.
