OPEN HOUSE, 4-7PM

Celebrate the unveiling of four public artworks and experience how art and infrastructure come together at the City of Bend’s new Public Works Campus.

 

This special grand opening invites the community to be among the first to explore the campus while discovering the role public art plays in shaping civic spaces. The featured artworks, supported by Bend’s 1% for the Arts program, transforms everyday materials and systems into a vibrant, dynamic artwork that reflects the movement, flow, and connectivity at the heart of public works.

 

In addition to the art unveiling, guests will enjoy guided tours of the new campus, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the essential services that keep Bend running—from water and streets to utilities and maintenance operations. Meet the people who power these systems, learn how the campus functions, and gain a deeper appreciation for the infrastructure that supports daily life.

 

The evening will also include opportunities to connect with artists, engage in family-friendly activities, and enjoy food trucks in a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. Come see how art works—and how your city works—at this one-of-a-kind celebration.
