Wednesday September 27, 6:30pm – 8pm MDT / CSTAs visual artists, we make art for private and public use. We do not have to compromise our vision when we make art for private consumption. When we make Public Art we always need to consider the community who will be viewing the work…

Erin Pankratz and Christian Pérès Gibaut work together on Public Art projects in Edmonton. In their presentation, they will discuss what to expect when making public art, the unseen side of the process, and Public Art and your career.
After these two presentations, there will be about twenty minute Q+A based on your questions. As the webinar is on Zoom, we will unmute the audience so you can ask your own questions. Join us and learn more about Public Art and whether it can be work for your career.
