Join Gay as she surveys the events and influencers, the associated artists, and the art historical movements it inspired.
The series begins with “The Sacred.” Artists idealize, glorify, inform; and throughout history have expressed visual images of religion or of protest. They may communicate a narrative, give emotion to a circumstance, propagandize, or arouse awareness. Through two art talks, The Sacred, on September 8, we will see the role religion had in the development of pictorial representation. The Profane, on December 1, will expound on current work that is created in reaction to controversial elements of society.
“We are excited to offer a fun and creative activity to say thank you to our membership. By offering the lecture series free of charge, we hope to remind our members just what a wonderful community SAAC is, and how much their support means.” Laura Allen
