What is Public Art?

Rather than being displayed in the confines of museum walls, public art brings together landscape and art in new and innovative ways. From abstract to realistic, public art can range from styles to mediums the same way it would when housed indoors. While some public art displays aim to blend in and enhance their natural surroundings, others look to draw attention to themselves. The best part about public art is that it is made to be accessible. The work is placed in public and communal spaces, creating a stronger sense of community and togetherness.

The Schneider Museum of Art’s Spring exhibition Art Beyond is the museum’s second year of bringing art to the community of Ashland and into the natural beauty that surrounds us. Opening May 20th, artwork will be displayed at Lithia Park, ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum, the SOU Hannon Library Rotunda, and many other locations throughout Ashland. For a full list of locations, visit the link here. To learn more about public art and what it is all about, click the link below. We hope to see you at there!

VIDEO - Installing ¡Provecho! by Justin Favela

Justin Favela

With a focus on creating art that explores notions of authenticity, place, and identity, Justin Favela is a multidisciplinary artist best known for his large scale installations and sculptures. He draws inspiration from his Latine background, using art as a medium to explore community and celebration. With his piece iProvecho!, Favela uses long strands of gossamer fabric to mimic the traditional tissue paper adornments of a party piñata. See Favela’s iProvecho! on display now at the SOU Hannon Library Rotunda, and watch the video linked below to watch the installation process.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
