Dialogue on the role of public art in Chinatown

April 12, 2019 - The Chinatown Transformation Team, together with staff from various City groups including Cultural Services and Public Art, the Engineering Department, and corporate communications, hosted an event to discuss the role of public art in Chinatown.
Over 70 people gathered at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden to explore questions around the relationship between public art and heritage, and how public art can reflect the values of Chinatown.
The input gathered from the event will help us in developing future public art projects in Chinatown.
