Abstract
Public art trails are becoming a common site in UK cities; last year Dundee was invaded by 70 giant Oor Wullie sculptures each decorated by a local artist, illustrator or designer. In addition to this, 25 smaller sculptures were decorated by local schools and nurseries. Further locations around Scotland also felt the impact of the Bucket Trail phenomena. Drawing on the notion of ‘cultural capital’ and its evolution since Bourdieu the purpose of this session is to initiate a discussion regarding the impact of public art trails on local communities focused on learning through art and about art.
