PUBLIC ART PARTY #3: Focus on Fabrication!

Please join us for the PUBLIC ART PARTY #3: Focus on Fabrication on April 16th at 6pm at the fabulous Powerhouse Arts, a fabricator and artist community in Brooklyn!

Artists, fabricators, public art administrators, real estate developers, private art consultants, public art curators and more are welcomed to join this community building event. Learn more about the PUBLIC ART PARTY here.

In the public art world, we don't have gallery openings, art fairs, residencies or natural meeting places...this is our chance to meet, talk, make friends, hang out and have fun together.

Artists: have you ever wondered how to translate your work into a permanent material for public art? Or how to find and work with a fabricator?

Curators, clients, art consultants and administrators: do you have questions about how to know if an artwork is durable, what kind of maintenance it will need, and whether an artist will be able to deliver a well-made artwork?

You're in the right place!

The event will kick off with “Hot Topics in Public Art,” an interactive and irreverent conversation with experts from across the field. April's panel will focus on how public art is made: how to translate ideas into materials, work with fabricators, ensure art is durable and maintainable, and more. Prepare to ask and answer questions!

“Hot Topics in Public Art” Panel:

Erica Behrens - Director, USA/Canada, Mayer of Munich

Brittni Collins - Director of Public Art, Powerhouse Arts

Xenia Diente - Public Art Deputy Director, Design and Construction Excellence
NYC Department of Design and Construction

Sean Kizy - Founder & Principal, Kizy Art Productions

Mia Pearlman - Artist and Moderator

And then...we will have some fun!

Tours of Powerhouse's public art fabrication studio will be available during the PUBLIC ART PARTY.

All ticket proceeds will be used to cover the cost of the event. If this is a barrier to entry, please email [email protected] for a complimentary ticket.

PUBLIC ART PARTY is organized and hosted by Mia Pearlman in the spirit of community.
