Lunch Hour Lecture: Contemporary Public Art at UCL East

Sam Wilkinson, Head of Public Art, UCL Culture will discuss UCL’s commitment to Public Art as an expression of the culture of UCL.

Sam will explain how we are working with artists to open up and inspire the university community and our important local neighbours. The presentation will explore our commitment to collaborative working with academics and students to contribute to knowledge exchange and public engagement with a focus on UCL East and its Trellis Art Programme. Sam will be joined by Trellis artist David Rickard.
