Public Art Pop-up: Meet Artist Royden Mills

Event time: 3:00 – 5:00 pm 

Join us for a meet and greet with local sculptor, Royden Mills, as we mark 30 years of the Edmonton Arts Council and the addition of the 300^th public artwork to the City of Edmonton Public Art Collection with a month of 300 @ 30 activities and events! 

Come find us along the Terwillegar Park path, and experience the artist’s series of three sculptures, Resonant Progression. 

Placed in conceptually linked sites, the three sculptures entitled Potential, Resonant Point, and Beyond Listening each offer an opportunity to connect to the awareness of a resonant progression, literally and figuratively. The artworks are intended to link the viewer with a sense of the pioneers who settled Edmonton, and are an invitation to slow down and listen to the pace of nature.

About Royden Mills

Royden Mills is an Alberta-born artist with a studio near the North Saskatchewan River west of Edmonton. He teaches Studio Art in Art Fundamentals Drawing and Inter-media, and Contemporary and Figurative Sculpture at the University of Alberta. 

The psychological charge felt in moments of being are often sources of inspiration in Roy’s practice. He often sets up situations where the audience physically engages in transition between a sense of what is within a state of being and what is beyond the physical body or architecture in that state. 

In addition to extensive international exhibitions, Royden has created many large-scale commissions, installations, and collaborative performances nationally and internationally.
