JASON HOELSCHER STUDIO | Site-Specific Public Art & Aesthetic Infrastructure
With 30 years of national and international exhibitions and public art experience, and over 200 completed art installations to date, I bring everyday places to life with site-responsive artworks that are simultaneously crowd-pleasing and conceptually rich. I begin each project with an AEIOU site analysis, studying Activities, Environments, Interactions, Objects, and Users to develop a working grid of site behavior, observed conditions, design response, and artistic outcome. This process helps me understand how a place is lived and experienced before translating those patterns into durable visual and spatial experiences that support orientation while sparking curiosity, joy, and connection. As a lifelong people person with collaboration skills shaped by two decades as an art professor, I work closely with communities, architects, engineers, and fabricators to deliver murals, terrazzo, mosaic, GFRC, and sculptural forms that turn place into shared experience.

NEWS: Two New Commissions for 2026: Murals, Terrazzo, and GFRC artworks
• Snow College | Utah (2026–2027): This commission activates all three floors of the new Social Sciences Building with a unified building-scale visual system. By merging Sanpete Valley-specific imagery with a disciplined graphic structure, the architecturally integrated project features a 10' terrazzo medallion, an 8' x 24' mural, an 8' x 12' mural, and seven integrated wall works designed to respond to patterns of learning, gathering, and daily campus life.
• Civic Landmark & Interdisciplinary Arts | Nevada (2026): For a civic landmark commission in Nevada, the studio is developing an interdisciplinary suite featuring a 1,000+ sq. ft. architectural terrazzo installation and five GFRC (glass fiber-reinforced concrete) artworks. Currently under signed NDA until the public announcement, the project merges technical precision with site-specific dialogue to create a durable, vibrant presence that honors and activates its surroundings. Additional project details and imagery forthcoming.
