Conversation with Public Artist Matthew Mazzotta

Come and engage in conversation with artist Matthew Mazzotta on January 21 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Main + Marketplace on 8th Street near the escalator. Mazzotta, who is developing a new public art project for the planned Westside Downtown Urban Park at 11th & Bannock in downtown Boise, will be hosting conversations with community members from a pop-up living room to gather information which will inform the design process for the new project. Now is your chance to have your voice heard.
