All lectures are located in Room 130 of the Fine and Performing Arts Center. Events are free and open to the public. WCU’s School of Art and Design will continue to feature regional, national and international artists in October and November.
Tuesday, Sept. 23 – Patrick Hall, an international sculptor, will be featured from noon to 1 p.m. Born in Germany, Hall immigrated to Tasmania and graduated from the University of Tasmania’s School of Art. He has completed numerous public art projects, and his studio furniture and sculptures have been exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. He will visit WCU in collaboration with the University of North Carolina’s Center for Craft, Creativity and Design.
Monday, Sept. 29, to Friday, Oct. 3 – William Donnan, a North Carolina sculptor, will be an artist-in-residence. Donnan is known primarily for his work in cast metal and cement. His primary interest is in the natural world: how it came to be, how it has changed and what its future might be. His large-scale permanent sculptures can be found at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, University of Tennessee, North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching and elsewhere across the Southeast.
Tuesday, Sept. 30 – Simon Carr, a New York painter, will be featured from 4-6 p.m. Carr has exhibited his work in venues ranging from the Bowery Gallery to Union Theological Seminary, from university galleries at Princeton and Haverford to the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. His most recent New York exhibition, “Street, Subway, Landscape,” was at the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University.
The series is made possible by the Visiting Artists Fund of the Office of the Provost with support from the dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts, the School of Art and Design, the Fine Art Museum, the Ward Endowment Fund for Ceramics, the Godfrey Seminar on the Business Crafts and friends of the School of Arts and Design.
