Bronze
This fenceline displays a set of nine bronze sculptures made individually by the emerging artists behind this exhibition. Student artists express their individual identity in these solo projects that were cast collaboratively utilizing the lost wax process. Each sculpture is a greater representation of the collective identity we share as creatives. Design and Build brings together multiple artists from a variety of backgrounds and art styles who have worked together throughout the summer on the various installations that are part of this exhibition.

On View August 5, 2023 – June 14, 2024
Nine emerging artist interns came together over the summer, through our annual Design and Build Summer Internship Program, to collaboratively create several unique, site-specific installations for MOA’s Marjorie Park in only 8 weeks! Emerging artists worked under the direction of our 2023 Artist Fellow, Erica Rawson, and Resource Artist, Walter Ware.
The theme provided to the artists in 2023 was “good vibrations.” Join us for the opening reception and unveiling on August 5th, 5-8pm to see these unique installations throughout Marjorie Park.
