Our Mission

Amber Art and Design is grounded in the belief that art catalyzes positive growth.

Our team specializes in murals, public interventions, and creative facilitation, responding to community needs.  We use art as a tool to actively engage people in the design of public spaces, guided by three pillars of work: the design and fabrication of public art, community engagement, and arts education with a specific focus on environmental justice.



 

What We Do

We engage and collaborate with people in public spaces to create public works of art that tell a story. Collaboration is at the core of our work as we create art that shares the stories, cultures and lived experiences of the multitudes of individuals we connect with.

Consultation

We’re committed to creating inclusive and accessible public spaces that support the needs of a community. We have worked as consultants for the development of several large scale public art projects, architectural designs for public spaces, artist residencies, community programs and engagement processes.

Design

Our designs are unique works of art, informed by extensive studies of art, culture and nature. We facilitate a community driven process for designing public works of art through development of creative and engaging public programs.

Education

We believe the arts are a catalyst for thinking, expression and connection; providing an inclusive way to explore various themes and subjects for all types of learners. Our unique curriculum allows students to experiment with materials and techniques as they investigate the world around them using an inquiry based approach. We encourage collaboration and creative problem solving through art making and educational workshops for all ages.

Engagement

As public artists we value the process of community engagement, with the belief that neighbor-informed community development comes from relationship building, story sharing, and investment of resources. Every neighborhood has artists, creatives, activists, families, and young people, who hold community history, knowledge, and expertise on the priorities, concerns, strengths, and challenges of the area.

Fabrication

Using a variety of techniques we have fabricated over 60 interior and exterior public works of art ranging in size and complexity. We work in partnership with our clients and the public to transform ideas into works of art that are educational and engaging.
