From Canvas to City Walls

Join two Calgary-based artists for a candid conversation on what it takes to move from the studio to the city landscape. Ola Volo and Michelle Hoogveld will discuss how major public art commissions come together, the technical shifts that happen at architectural scale, and the turning points that shaped their careers. The session covers the interplay between commercial, public, and studio work, as well as strategies for building a sustainable creative practice. After the discussion, stay for audience Q&A and an informal gallery walkthrough with the artists. Presented alongside Blueprints of a Dream, this event is a great chance to see their work up close. Seating is limited, so advance registration is recommended. 🎨 Artist conversation + gallery walkthrough 📍 Gibson Fine Art
