In her role as Public Art Project Coordinator, Lianna Hamby (she/her) works with the public art team, artists, and community members to create and fulfill public art opportunities. Lianna is an avid listener and loves a good story. She is excited by the stories artists tell through public art and the layers and connections the public adds through their interactions with art.

Born in Nanjing, China, and raised in Portland, Oregon, Lianna holds a master’s degree in Museology (Museum Studies) and a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. Lianna approaches facilitating artist and community collaboration as a way to create art that reflects and shapes what Boise is, what Boise has been, and what Boise can be. She believes that every interaction with public art adds to the growing and evolving story of that artwork, as well as the overarching story of Boise.
