Outdoor Living Room Sessions with Matthew Mazzotta

---

Lincoln Parks and Recreation Today invited community members to two informal conversations in September regarding a public art piece to be installed at South Haymarket Park, Seventh and “N” streets. Artist Matthew Mazzotta will host the “Outdoor Living Room” sessions as part of his process to connect the community with his work. 

The schedule is as follows: 

Mazzotta will present his final design to city officials in January of 2026. Fabrication and installation is expected to be complete by November 2026. 

Mazzotta’s community-specific projects integrate new forms of civic participation and social engagement into the built environment. Installation sites include Tampa, FL; San Diego, CA; Springfiled, MO; and Chicago, IL.
