Big Toe, by local artist Nancy Powell, is among the many examples of public art around the region. A free artist mixer today offers the public a chance to listen to and speak with three local artists about their experiences creating public art. It happens today from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by a concert, all atop the Bastion Square Parkade off Yates Street.

Join three emerging Victoria artists and enjoy a rooftop concert during the free Create Victoria Mixer + Artist Talk, from 5 to 9 p.m. today (Aug. 21) at the Bastion Square Parkade.

For the first hour, local artists Fern Long, Joshua Ngenda and Austin Clay Willis will take part in a panel discussion about their experiences creating public art. The talk will be moderated by local artist Amanda Farrell-Low. Participants will have the opportunity to network and speak with the City’s Arts, Culture and Events staff about future public art opportunities.
