On January 1, 2023 the Art Omi sculpture park in Ghent started not allowing any dogs in the Sculpture and Architecture Park after 8:30 a.m. This has caused consternation among those who regularly walk with their dogs through the sculpture park, and so Art Omi will hold what they are calling a "Dog Policy Public Forum" at the Benenson Center at Art Omi from 6-7 p.m. on March 8. Their social media post on the forum says that attendees can, "share your thoughts and contribute to Art Omi’s work in making our grounds a safe, clean, and accessible space for all," but it does not say that the sculpture park is considering a change in policy. Anyone who cannot attend the meeting can email feedback to media@artomi.org.
