Artist in Situ
The City of Stirling’s newest art initiative, Artist in Situ, will see six talented artists create four temporary installation artworks in public spaces across the City.
|
|
|
|
|
Artist in Situ will connect locals and visitors alike with contemporary artists and their art practices. Working across a range of disciplines including photography, kinetics, paper sculpture, print-making, and socially engaged practices each artist will respond to the theme of “Smile” whilst enlivening community spaces in a fun, imaginative way, igniting the curiosity of passers-by and in-turn bringing a smile to their faces. Scheduled between 7 February - 2 April 2023 the community can get involved through workshops leading to the creation of 4 temporary art installations in North Beach, Scarborough, Glendalough and Hamersley.
