Mark your calendars for an evening tapping into the Fort Collins art scene at The Lincoln Center on October 10, where local artists will dish on public art and personal creativity during an exclusive panel discussion and reception. According to the City of Fort Collins, the event, free of charge and open to the public, kicks off with a reception at 5:30 pm, followed by a discussion among artists adding their strokes of genius to the city from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
The spotlight will be on Gregory Fields, Todd Kundla, Allie Ogg, and Stephan Shachtman, creatives who have painted the town in more ways than one, and they're coming together in "Exploring Local Public Art & Personal Expression." During the discussion, they will share insights into their craft, from the seed of inspiration to the finale of public presentation, dissecting how the artistic process unfolds from the studio to the street. The artists will also give attendees the inside scoop on balancing personal vision with community projects, and despite the complexities of their work being on full public display, the speakers continue to contribute richly to Fort Collins' cultural landscape.
The reception offers a prime opportunity to schmooze with the panelists and gaze a little longer at their personal artworks in a less structured setting; light snacks and nibbles will complement the artful ambience. The Lincoln Center's announcement invites everyone from the art-curious to established artists, encouraging all to delve into the significance of art in shared and personal environments.
