Going Public: How to approach, getting and producing Public Art Commissions CARFAC Maritimes is inviting you to register for its 3rd Technical Webinar, "Going P...ublic" with Peter Powning on Sunday, April 25th, 2021 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm on ZOOM. Free for CARFAC members, $25 for non members. In this webinar, artist Peter Powning will discuss the details of what is involved in finding and being awarded a public art commission. This will be an overview of what’s involved in securing and producing a successful art commission. We will cover requests for qualifications (RFQs) to calls for proposals (RFPs); budgeting to shipping; drawings to models and much more. Peter will also take a number of questions from participants. Since 1970, Peter Powning has lived and worked as an artist in the hills of southern New Brunswick. While Powning’s award-winning work is shown internationally, it is imbued with qualities distilled from a life lived close to the silence, space and seasonal rhythms of his home and of the fields, forests and shorelines of Canada’s east coast. Known as an inveterate experimenter and risk-taker, he works in a wide range of media, often combining glass, cast bronze, stone, ceramics and steel. In addition, he produces large photographic prints of ephemeral works and has done seventeen public commissions. Powning has been awarded the Governor General’s Bronfman Award as well as an honorary doctorate from the University of New Brunswick.

I have been playing around with eco printing in the past month. Always loved collecting leaves. Never knew you could actually print with them! Having fun. These are from a florist. Eagerly waiting for the outdoors to sprout.

Copper Etch Printing with Nathan Cann today. Messy! Fun! Thanks Nathan.

Finished last week...acrylic and ink 36x24. I am having fun with these more Stream of Consciousness paintings. Don't have to worry about lining up eyes or only painting 5 fingers per hand!

I took the first session of a copper etching print workshop on Saturday with Nathan Cann. I have been scratching away on the copper sheet we prepped. Next Saturday we learn acid baths and ink! I think this is ready for next Sat. Hopefully my virgin techniques drawing with a pointy piece of metal will carry me through. I think this pod is from a Nigella flower???

A new piece I am in the middle of using acrylic, ink and oil pastel. Sort of treeish-snakish-bonishy

Getting much work done thanks to my assistants.

2020 Fibre Arts Network Exhibition opened yesterday and it is FAN-tabulous. UNB Arts Centre, Sunday afternoons by appointment.
