THINKING BIG: Unveiling Public Art Projects
New exhibition featuring WATERSHED+

September 7 – December 23, 2012-09-12 at the Art Gallery of Calgary

Thinking Big: Unveiling Public Art Projects explores the creative energy, technical expertise and complex work required to execute a successful public art project.

The WATERSHED+ Water Fountains, which were launched in Calgary this past Canada Day long weekend, are featured as part of the exhibition. Visit the Art Gallery of Calgary to read about the process of creating the Fountains and for the next two week one of the Fountains will be installed and useable just outside of the Gallery for public use!

The exhibition is co-presented by the City of Calgary Public Art Program and the Alberta Craft Council, in partnership with the Art Gallery of Calgary.

WATERSHED+ is pleased to announce that the first artists in residence have been selected! Over 75 applicants applied for the residency over the summer, a jury made up of artists, community members and City of Calgary staff reviewed submissions and selected 5 artists / collectives to participate in the first year of residencies at Ralph Klein Park. With the studio facilities now complete at RKP, the first residency will start this October! Check back soon for the announcement of the 5 artists selected for the WATERSHED+ Residency.
