Watermark Art Center to host information session for Indigenous Public Art Commission

Walker Art Center’s Nisa Mackie will facilitate

BEMIDJI, MN – Are you a knowledge keeper, contemporary artist or traditional artist interested in making public art? The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, along with an Indigenous Public Art Selection Committee, invites artists’ proposals for new public artwork to be placed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden or a location on the Walker campus.

An information session about this call for art will take place in Bemidji. On March 30 from 2 – 4 p.m., Nisa Mackie, director and curator of education and public programs for the Walker Art Center, will share more about this opportunity during a presentation at Watermark Art Center. Attendees will learn about the process, have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss their work in the context of the public art setting and scale for the Sculpture Garden.

All artists with an idea that could be translated into large scale sculpture are encouraged to attend this free informational meeting. Individual or collaborative original work may be sculptural; incorporate other disciplines, such as audiovisual or installation art; or include traditionally sourced materials.

Light refreshments will be served at the meeting.

Artists interested in learning more about the Indigenous Public Art Commission can go to walkerart.org. For further details on the info session in Bemidji, go to watermarkartcenter.org.
