Emser, Bob

Prolific, civically involved sculptor Bob Emser shares his experience in the public commission market, discussing his intuitive growth as a business-minded artist, and how to approach a professional career like a work of art.

“I get invited routinely by rotaries and other groups to talk about something that I call ‘sculptural economics’; it's basically facts about how putting a sculpture in your community will make it livelier and economically stronger.”
