Latinos and Planning: Emeryville Public Art Walking Tour with Ana Padilla

Join us on a Walking Tour of Emeryville’s Art in Public Places led by Ana Padilla, a recent graduate of UC Berkeley’s Master of City Planning. Her research evaluated this program, focusing on accessibility of the physical artworks and the accessibility of the program for artists. The program has generated over 200 individual art pieces to enhance robust development within Emeryville’s 1.25 square mile city limits and has generated $250,000 financing for local artists with Emeryville specific ties in the last 10 years. Most importantly the program has created public space for art appreciation and has been a method of creating an economy around art production.
