Tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., Chief Curator Eleanor Harvey hosts a discussion with artists William Christenberry, David Bates, Betye Saar, and David Beck. They’ll grapple with numerous issues, including creating a sense of place in an artwork, social and political commentary in their work, how they choose the right medium for a particular work, and the direction their art might take in the future. It should be a lively event. We’ll be recording it for a future Webcast.
