What
In partnership with the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is planning an industry day for Austin and Texas-based artists to network with public art makers. The purpose of this Public Art Makers Expo is to support professional growth, career development and industry access for Austin and Central Texas-Based artists to expand their public art practice.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Exhibitors and public art professionals and makers will gather in one place to share tools, materials, technologies, and strategies that make public art possible.
If you’re an artist based in Austin or Central-Texas and curious about public art in-general, in search of a fabricator for a large-scale installation or needing a thought partner for your next commission, this Expo is for you to:
-Meet Industry Experts – From material specialists and bespoke metal workers to custom glass makers and experts in digital and technology platforms, a cross-section of fabricators will be accessible to all attending artists.
-Hear Real-World Case Studies – Fabricators will share experiences about how artists like you realized their public art visions with the support of technical teams
-Learn About New Opportunities – Gather insight about upcoming calls for artists, collaborations, and other public art business opportunities.
-Grow your network – Strengthen your professional artist network by meeting other artists and public art industry experts based in Austin and throughout the US.
