‘Beyond The Gallery: Art in Public Spaces’ was a public art symposium organised by Public Eye, held at the Cape Technikon and attended by more than 80 participants hailing from both South Africa and several countries abroad. These participants included students, academics, artists, arts administrators and cultural activists. The emphasis was on the visual presentation of public art projects undertaken, and the effect they had had on the communities where they had been realised. An evening keynote address and presentation by Professor Jane Taylor on Friday 15 March 2002 was followed by four days of panel discussions. A useful feedback and closed workshop for some participants concluded the event. Funding was obtained from various local and foreign sources. The symposium was co-ordinated by Sue Williamson.
