Making the leap from studio practice to public art can feel daunting for many artists. Transitioning from small-scale works to large public installations requires mastering many layers—design, concept, production, and installation. Often, a lack of experience and access to opportunities makes this leap challenging.
However, programs like TOAF’s Art Nest and the City of Toronto’s Public Art Summer Mentorship Program are actively working to support emerging artists.
Join us for an insightful discussion with expert public art curators who will share how to craft a winning proposal and what they look for during the selection process. Hear directly from artists who took their first steps into public art through Art Nest, as they share their practical tips on everything from material selection and durability to logistics and safety.
