This week I invited back Mississippi Sculptor Lawson King to help us continue our journey into Public Art. He shares with us about the installation process, and some tips on how to build a community that an artist would want to bring their work back to over and over. There is that key word we keep hearing, community. *Find Lawson* https://instagram.com/lawsonmayne ( https://instagram.com/lawsonmayne?igshid=knx8xit3fv2g ) *Referenced in Episode* Places: https://www.coahomacollective.org ( https://www.coahomacollective.org/ ) https://instagram.com/thesculpturegardenms ( https://instagram.com/thesculpturegardenms?igshid=wvhh7wjkmrtr ) https://instagram.com/collective.seed ( https://instagram.com/collective.seed?igshid=ol315lxq3ydn ) Artists: https://instagram.com/raykatzsculptor ( https://instagram.com/raykatzsculptor?igshid=1y2n76r770idj ) https://instagram.com/daviswhitfield_sculpture ( https://instagram.com/daviswhitfield_sculpture?igshid=1tkd8z3sx9df6 ) http://www.waynetrapp.com/outdoor_metal_sculpture.html https://instagram.com/richard.serra ( https://instagram.com/richard.serra?igshid=1wuq9ll40v5lf ) Organizations: https://instagram.com/msartscommission ( https://instagram.com/msartscommission?igshid=1nfcu6t8y0jm7 ) https://www.msdeltaheritage.com/ https://instagram.com/public.art.ms ( https://instagram.com/public.art.ms?igshid=h6zssynun6r9 ) To support the podcast and find all of our previous interviews go to www.thelittleyellowbuilding.com/artist-interviews.html ( https://www.thelittleyellowbuilding.com/artist-interviews.html )
