The Role of the Artist and of Public Art: Interdisciplinary Actions within the Watershed The outstanding qualities of the projects outlined in this Plan will encourage public interest, involvement, and education surrounding Calgary’s public utilities and the environmental services managed by UEP. Interdisciplinary artist-led teams will work collaboratively to create an aesthetic for our infrastructure that encourages sustainability and stewardship of the environment. The plan will help to create new places along the river, places where art challenges us to think differently about Calgary and about the impact of our actions, both individually and collectively.
