Art Explorations are a series of walks investigating artworks displayed in outdoor settings in London, Barcelona, Edinburgh and New York, as well as on Britain’s Kent coast, created and led by Gail Astbury, public art enthusiast as well as a practitioner in her own right.
Adapted to COVID times these were offered as a guided public art tour for all to enjoy from home. The tours held on Zoom using Google Streetview, and were recorded, approximately 60 minutes in duration, and they offered an opportunity for attendees to ask questions during the tours.
