Dean Stanton – TEDxYYC 2020 Artist-in-Residence

Since graduating from the Alberta College of Art in 1990, I have slowly developed an illustrative style that has become not only widely recognizable in Calgary, but an absolute pleasure to produce. That said, I also quickly realized how the sheer fun and experimental nature of art-making was not only what i wanted to pursue, but I decided to also encourage anyone I met or worked with, to either collaborate or make their own artworks in my various studios over the years.

I have greatly enjoyed working with many Calgarians, both for fun and in a professional manner, to make cool, colorful artworks all over the city, other parts of Alberta, and in the US. I have developed a few methods of making my art, in commercial, residential or educational settings, in which the actual art production includes anyone that steps up to help. I get tremendous enjoyment encouraging people of all ages and demographics to walk on up and grab a brush, and go for it, while condent that the nal result will be a presentable, professional showcase of random collaboration with the public. While i realize this idea of random public cooperation in making works of art is neither new, nor groundbreaking, I feel that I create some insanely awesome works that have really great impact in their eventual home, and create a sense of pride in those that participate.
