Program Advisory Board

The Stuart Collection is delighted to present our Program Advisory Board. The PAB consists of a diverse group of distinguished contemporary artists and collectors who will play a pivotal role in shaping an agenda parallel to our art commission program. While commissioning new work, the Program Advisory Board also aspires to explore the multidimensional, evolving, ephemeral and meaningful nature of public space to foster, through contemporary art, community engagement, participation and learning experience within an innovative pedagogical framework that focuses on diversity and experimentation.
