Are you an artist curious about taking your work beyond the studio — into the public realm, large-scale installations, or collaborative fabrication projects?

Join EAR on Wednesday, October 22nd at 7pm MST on Zoom for Working Big – Inside Public Art & Fabrication with Heavy.

This Umbrella Talk is designed to help artists understand how to scale up creatively and professionally.

Learn how to:

• Collaborate with creative fabrication firms like Heavy to refine ideas and submit buildable/realistic proposals to clients or committees.
•   Understand the role the artist plays in the development of works for the public realm.
• Navigate the business side of making art for public spaces—from proposal to fabrication to installation.
• Gain insight into the collaborative process behind some of North America’s most iconic public artworks.

Featuring insights from Heavy, a Calgary-based leader in public art fabrication and architectural design, this conversation will bridge the gap between artistic vision and real-world production—showing how artists can engage meaningfully with the teams, materials, and opportunities that make large-scale work possible.

If you’re ready to think bigger about your practice, this session will help you understand not just how monumental projects happen, but how you can be part of them
