  YEAR IN REVIEW AND AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

  The Public Art Year in Review differs from CCNC’s Awards of Excellence for Public Art. Municipalities may submit public art projects to both recognition programs, but whereas the Awards of Excellence recognize two outstanding projects for their demonstration of artistic excellence and best practices as selected by the AoE jury, the Year in Review showcases a diverse range of artworks from across the country as selected by the Public Art Network Council of CCNC. 

• Discussion Rooms

  Expanding on the popular Roundtables, delegates will get these conversations on their feet. 

  Three themed Discussion Rooms will be dedicated to facilitating conversations between delegates. Choose which room you attend on Day 1 and Day 2, and hear what happened in all Rooms on Day 3. 

  Participants will be presented with a question or problem to be tackled and set to work to talk it out with small groups and one-on-one. Bring your own perspective and experience to a challenge and learn how others across the country see it differently. 

  Themes

  1. Festivals and Events: Returning to Crowds

  Facilitated by the Municipal Events Committee (MEC), CCNC’s newest committee, this room will present questions and problems centred around municipal event planning. 

  Final daily problems to be announced at a later date.

  2. Public Art and Placemaking: Approaches and Understanding

  The Public Art Network Council will facilitate this room, presenting questions and problems faced by those working in public art and municipal placemaking. 

  Final daily problems to be announced at a later date.

  3. To Be Announced

  CCNC is reserving this Room for timely discussions and will determine the theme closer to the Summit. Final daily problems to be announced at a later date.
