Fieldstation, Calgary
A series of arts-based community events in neighborhoods and transit centers
2017
Project Overview
The Tuscany LRT Station community cultural development public art project examines the intersection of public art and community engagement. Centered on the multi-modal Tuscany LRT Station, the area is defined by three distinct and diverse neighborhoods along with a rich natural setting. The team led a process-driven and collaborative approach to creating Canada’s largest Community Cultural Development and worked to closely involve residents in the creation of different artworks that fostered a sense of legacy and belonging. The project focus on the creation of multiple artistic excursions with area residents and transit riders. Each excursion was structured through a collaboration between a local public artist and a resource person helped to explain the surrounding ecology, geology, and cultural history of the area.
