Join Public Studio and local artists for insights into the public art being created for the Strathearn LRT Stop on the Valley Line.
Feathered Friends - Public Art in the Community brings residents of the Strathearn Community together with the artists behind "Of Birds and Such", the artwork proposed by Canadian artist team Public Studio.
The day will include presentations by the local artists who will collaborate with Public Studio to create the artwork, the Edmonton and Area Land Trust, a light lunch, and walking tour.
Families are encouraged to attend.

About the Art
Of Birds and Such marries the past with the present by looking at habitats that used to surround the bus shelters, their current surroundings, and our collective future. Dioramas of flora and fauna were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The glass and iron architecture of the new shelters evokes this period – by mapping 3D images onto the structures, Public Studio will create tableaux that connect the natural to our contemporary world. The artworks will engage the immediate surroundings, as well as the community living there, encouraging residents and commuters to reflect on nature and how this space looked and felt before human contact.
