On November 3, IPAR (Initiative for Public Art in Reston) held its annual Fundraising and Auction Reception at The Avant building, located at the Reston Town Center.
The event was an opportunity for IPAR to announce its new name: PUBLIC ART RESTON. Anne Delaney, IPAR’s Executive Director, explained that the change was based on having a name that is more direct and more easily understood.
