SUMMARY:Dark Star Park and the Birth of Arlington's Public Art Program
DESCRIPTION:Arlington Historical Society presents Nancy Holt’s Dark Star Park (1979 –1984) and the birth of Arlington’s Public Art Program. AHS hosts Angela A. Adams\, Founding Director of Arlington Public Art as she discusses the creation\, stewardship\, and legacy of Nancy Holt’s Dark Star Park and how it inspired a more than 40-year commitment to public art as placemaking. Her presentation includes screening of Holt’s film: “Art in the Public Eye: The Making of Dark Star Park.” \nAngela Anderson Adams has worked as a curator and arts administrator for four decades\, serving most of those as Founding Director of Arlington Public Art. Under her leadership\, Arlington County’s public art program grew from one of the first developer-sponsored programs in the country to an internationally-renowned\, award-winning public and privately funded program that contributes art and design enhancements to most major civic projects undertaken in the County\, including buildings\, parks and open space as well as infrastructure. \nAdams previously served as Adjunct Curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Washington\, DC\, and Exhibitions Director/Curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Arlington. She holds a B.A. in Art History from the College of Wooster\, Ohio\, and a M.A. in the History of Art from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Adams was born and raised in Washington\, DC\, and Frederick\, MD.  Currently she splits her time between south central Vermont and Arlington’s Clarendon-Courthouse neighborhood\, serves as Vice President of the Holt/Smithson Foundation and offers mentorship and consultation to the public art field. \nLOCATION\nWe’re back at the Reinsch Library Auditorium at Marymount University’s Main Campus \nDRIVING DIRECTIONS and FREE PARKING: Attendees planning to attend the event in-person should enter the Marymount University campus at the library gate on N. 26th Street.
