About the program
Join us at Woollahra Gallery for a conversation with Benjamin Clay and Ellinor Pelz from UAP | Urban Art Projects exploring the journey of scaling small-scale sculpture into major public artworks.
The evening will begin with a gallery tour led by Gallery Director Sep Pourbozorgi, followed by a discussion between Benjamin and Ellinor about the processes, challenges, and creative possibilities of public art.
Ben will share UAP’s approach to scouting for new artists and clients, while Ellinor will offer insights into her curatorial process and the development of public art strategies. There will be opportunities for audience questions and conversation.
Special takeaway: Attendees will receive an A3 fold-out resource to take home, offering practical guidance on how to enter and navigate public art opportunities.
This is a Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize Program, proudly sponsored by UAP| Urban Art Projects.
