But a week away

These spaces will be filled with art

That’s right, the debut of the first of our public arts projects is soon approaching! In/stall/ed is getting set to take place in the McCauley community next Saturday, August 27 all day long from 11am to 5pm. With seventeen artists from near and far reclaiming parking lots stalls in the community for installation works, the day is a fun, lively and free celebration of public art.

Artists of all trades—performance artists, dancers, painters and sculptors—will be showing works they created for the event, curated by our very own program assistant Kelta Coomber. Each site-specific installation is in some way an exploration of the public-private divide: works include an imagined North American vacation spot that questions the balance between work and play, an aural exploration of internet memes, a mimetic miniature of Edmonton’s community and more.

In/stall/ed features works from artists Kelsie Acton, Shanell Papp, Trent Wilkie, Amy Shostak, Sean Montgomery, Juniper Quin, Jenna Mortemore, Tyler Sherard, Bill Damur, Daniel Evans, Ed Hunt, Heather Inglis, C.W. Carson,Lindsay Knox, Maegan Magathan Kristen Keegan and Zachary Polis.

Stay tuned on the blog and Facebook for all of the upcoming details, plus a map featuring project locations in the McCauley community.

In/stall/ed is an official initiative of the McCauley Revitalization strategy, and explores the enriching possibilities of contemporary art in communities.
