    What does "sustainable" mean in the context of public art today?
    Are you sustaining various ecosystems?
    Are you sustaining your creative process?
    Are you sustaining vitality of your work in new contexts?
    Are you sustaining yourself through peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
    If you answered "YES" to any of the above, come hear Jack Becker discuss the various ways that sustainability relates to art (especially public art) at the Austin Museum of Art!
    Jack is an artist, founder and executive director of Forecast Public Art foundation, and editor of Public Art Review magazine, the world's leading journal devoted exclusively to the field of contemporary public art. Becker specializes in projects that connect the ideas and energies of artists with the needs and opportunities of communities and has organized over 70 exhibitions, 50 publications and numerous special events nationwide.
