Virtual Program: Go Your Own Way! Road Tripping to America's Art Environments

The very American pastime of road tripping has played a critical role in both the creation and appreciation of art environments from the early 20th century to today. Join AVAM and independent curator Annalise Flynn for a conversation about how America's enthusiasm for hitting the road has helped fuel and sustain the field of artist-built environments. We'll also discuss several routes to add to your summer road trip calendar!
