From The Arts Station

Hey I got this letter in my FB today from the Arts Station:

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Fernie Arts Station is dedicated to the creation and installation of art in Fernie’s public spaces. Public Art is publicly accessible, temporary or permanent works of art. It can be as varied as doorway mosaics, innovative architecture, or the installation of monuments and statues.

The process for Public Art begins as the community is encouraged to bring ideas forward. A Public Art Committee evaluates these ideas. Artists may be invited to participate in competitions for suitable designs. From the conception of a piece of artwork, to its final installation, there is a joining of local leadership with artists and other design professionals. The end result is public artwork that reflects the diversity, needs, and visions of the larger community.

What are your thoughts on Public Art and in which public spaces would you like to see art? Contribute your thoughts on our facebook discussion board to let us know what you'd like to see here in Fernie...

Kind regards,
The Arts Station
