Public Art in Arlington, Virginia: Present, Past and Future

Join us for a free virtual event, Public Art in Arlington, Virginia: Present, Past and Future, hosted by Encore Learning and cosponsored by Arlington Public Library.

People have been hearing about Reclining Liberty on her side at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) Arlington, or maybe you are a fan of Dark Star Park? What other public art is around Arlington? What are the notable public art projects in Arlington over the past forty years? Join Angela Anderson Adams, Arlington Public Art Administrator, for a retrospective and prospective look at public art in Arlington and our region.

Angela Anderson Adams has worked as a curator and arts administrator for nearly 40 years, half of those directing Arlington Public Art. Under her leadership Arlington Public Art has grown from being one of the first developer-sponsored programs in the country to an internationally renowned, award-winning public and privately funded program. The program contributes art and design enhancements to most major civic projects undertaken in the County.

Prior to working for Arlington County, Adams served as Adjunct Curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., and Exhibitions Director/Curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Arlington, Va. She holds a B.A. in Art History from the College of Wooster, Ohio, and a M.A. in the History of Art from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
