Art Center to Hold Artist Talk and Last Look at Fall Exhibitions

On Sunday, January 27, from 3-5 PM, the Art Center will host a "last look" reception and informal artist talk for the closing of our three fall exhibitions: Kevin Blythe Sampson: Black and Blue, Messages from the Interior, and Stair-gazing: Theda Sandiford. Sampson, Sandiford, and Fred Scruton-the artist featured in Messages from the Interior-will be in attendance to discuss their work, their process, and answer questions from the audience.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for our members and the public alike to get one last look at our fantastic fall exhibitions," said Sarah Walko, Director of Education and Community Engagement. "That alone would be enough to warrant a visit, but on Sunday, visitors will get a chance to discuss the works and the methods used to produce them. It's a 'must see opportunity for some real insight into the processes each of these artists use when creating."
