How an Artist-Driven Art Project Turned into a Community Embraced Cultural Asset

Artists drive change and have a unique ability to create the amazing out of what seems like nothing. In this webinar we will hear from artist Heather Theresa Clark on how she conceived, developed and ultimately created “Sky Stage” an open-air public artwork that both provides space for community performances and gathering and commentary on the environment. Clark started with a vision to create an artwork out of a building in downtown Fredrick, Maryland. As she strived to make her concept a reality, she built relationships with private landowners, government officials and even a historic planning commission to repurpose what was a burned out pre-revolutionary building shell into “Sky Stage”. Through her presentation, attendees will learn how she built relationships with decision makers and the community at large, what it took to fundraise for the project and engage the local community.

In this webinar, attendees will:

• Hear how an artists built community support for the redesign of an empty building
• Learn how to build relationships and trust for the development of a public artwork and cultural assets
• Understand the various elements in developing, fundraising and building a unique community arts space
