Join us for a special morning with acclaimed local sculptor Susan Geissler, whose bronze works have transformed public spaces across Western New York and beyond. In this moderated conversation, Geissler will share the stories behind her powerful public monuments, her creative process, and how she brings history and emotion to life through bronze.
This intimate program offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with one of the region’s most celebrated artists. You’ll hear about her most well-known sculptures—including Freedom Crossing and Tuscarora Heroes—as well as her lesser-known studio works that capture everyday human moments with quiet beauty.
Attendees will also learn about the bronze casting process, the challenges of large-scale sculpture, and the business of public art. A Q&A will follow the discussion.
Whether you're an artist, art lover, or curious community member, this is a unique chance to connect with an extraordinary creative voice from our region.
