Based on the model of Art in Odd Places in New York City, CEC ArtsLink’s Art Prospect was the first large-scale festival of public art in St. Petersburg. Seventeen American and Russian artists and art collectives, who shared a mutual commitment to bring art into unconventional spaces and to broad audiences, created site-specific work in courtyards, shop windows and public parks along a bustling stretch of Liteiny Prospect in the city center. Co-curated by Ed Woodham the festival’s theme of MODEL included lectures and workshops by the participating artists.
