In May of 2021, we launched the first season of Urban Art Biz. Our first episode was titled From Grad School to Gallery with Artist Casey Koyczan discussing his journey as a recent masters graduate of fine arts to his MFA exhibit.

As we launch season 3 of Urban Art Biz, we welcome Casey Koyczan back to talk about his incredible career trajectory over the past few years and discuss what it takes to sustain himself financially, spiritually, and creatively as a full-time working artist. We will also learn how the pandemic impacted Casey’s work, and what pivots were necessary for him to continue to take his space on the world stage.

Casey has become a much sought after Artist and Instructor, expanding his mixed-medium installation work to include 3D/AR/VR, 360 video and analog / electronic soundscapes.

His strength of vision and inspiration is drawn from his Dene ancestry, nature, technology, and sci-fi; expanding through sharing his knowledge and inspiring emerging artists.

The workshop is offered Free. Please register online by 10:30 am CST Sept 27, 2023, the morning of the event, and a zoom link will be sent to your email address by 11AM ! If you feel that you haven’t received the zoom link, please check your junk mail folder.
