Public art is radically changing. It’s a Global phenomenon – the desire to make more meaningful public space. I run workshops tailored to specific interest groups — emerging Architects in this case for Vertical Engagement CASA Curtin. This was an active workshop, where we explored:
WHY_get involved?
WHAT is happening in public art and place activation in WA?
HOW is it done? – case studies presented, then participants developed a visual concept/proposal
WHERE can participants get informed/get involved in the future?
'I got an insight into the process. It opened up my mind to the possibilities out there, and gave me confidence that I/we could put together a proposal. The workshop gave me connections to other people interested in public art and place activation. Informed me where I can go to create new spaces [public art and place activation].'
