popos walking tour with lisa van dusen

Join artist Lisa Van Dusen for a walking tour and participatory public artwork exploring Downtown Palo Alto’s hidden Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS). Participants will visit overlooked plazas, pathways, and gardens while playfully activating these spaces and reflecting on what they reveal about public life and the invisible systems that shape how we gather and share. 

Approximately 2 miles total (including return walk). Free and open to the public. All ages welcome.

RSVPs are helpful but not required — day-of walk-ins are welcome.

Part of Public Benefit: Pop-Ups in the POPOS, supported in part by a City of Palo Alto ArtLift Grant, Palo Alto Public Art Program.
