Art in Service #2: Who Is It For?

Kate Gilbert is an artist and activist deeply committed to supporting the arts as a catalyst for transformation — of our cities, our relationships, and ourselves. In her artwork, curatorial projects and public art organization, she strives to facilitate spontaneity and to help propel public appreciation of contemporary art practices. Kate's 20-year program experience with Boston arts and design organizations culminated in the development of the Greenway's public art strategy in 2011 and in 2014-2015, the ArtLAB, an outdoor laboratory for experimental public art at the Lawn on D. She is now parlaying that experience into Now + There, an arts organization dedicated to delivering impactful temporary public art projects in Greater Boston. N+T’s first project Public Trust with Paul Ramirez Jonas will open in Boston in late August.
