Story | Structure | Site
The work of the Art Studio, lead by Artist Matt Niebuhr with team Artist David Dahlquist, is a thoughtful integration of site-specific and culturally contextual art experiences into public and private spaces within architecture and the landscape.
Our work depends upon many different elements “orchestrated” in a way in which the public is welcomed into and moved by the experience. In the process, we create memorable destinations and exciting new places.
