Public Art Series

Reimagining our building as a site for exploration and disruption

This rotating series of art installations amplifies the shared aims of visual artists and theater-makers: pursuing social transformation, exposing contradictions of American life, and disrupting routine patterns. Our aim is to breathe new life into an established institution as we imagine our course forward.

The series, conceived by artist, activist, and writer Avram Finkelstein and set and costume designer David Zinn, inaugurated our Lighthouse Project with an installation by Jilly Ballistic. Installations by Ken Gonzales-Day and Dread Scott followed. Join us for upcoming Lighthouse Talks, free online conversations about the role of public art led by staff members, theater-makers, and visual artists.
