About this Event
From Canvas to City Walls
Artist Conversation + Gallery Walkthrough
Ola Volo and Michelle Hoogveld have built creative practices that move between intimate studio work, monumental public art, architecture, and major international commissions.
In this conversation, they’ll share how public-art opportunities came about, what changes at architectural scale, and the turning points that shaped their creative careers.
The discussion will explore:
- how major public-art commissions happen
- what changes creatively and technically at architectural scale
- how commercial, public, and studio work influence one another
- the turning points that shaped each artist’s career
- what they’ve learned about building a sustainable creative practice
The conversation will be followed by audience questions and an informal gallery walkthrough with the artists.
Seating is limited. Advance registration recommended.
