Free Artist Lecture Series Planned - October 02, 2007
 | | Mark Mulherrin |
NORTH ADAMS - Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts’ Berkshire Cultural Resource Center in Gallery 51 and Northern Berkshire Creative Arts will sponsor an eight-month series of talks and seminars for working artists, "Tricks of the Trade: Talks for Artists."
The first lecture, "Picasso says he is a communist and neither am I," by artist Mark Mulherrin, will be on Thursday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. in MCLA Gallery 51 on Main Street.
Mulherrin will use words and images to discuss and compare different aspects of art produced during wartime from the Spanish Civil War to the Iraq invasion. By contrasting art that functions as commentary on war with art that emanates from the experience of war, the lecture will explore the validity of the creative process.
The series will continue on Nov. 1 at Northern Berkshire Creative Arts with "Creating a Web Presence for your Art" with Matthew Belanger; "Legal Issues for Artists" with Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts on Dec. 6 at Gallery 51; "Become a Creative Teaching Artist" with David Marshall, education programs manager at the Massachusetts Cultural Council, at NBCA on Jan. 24, 2008; "The Business of Art" on Feb. 7, 2008, at Gallery 51; "The Creative Process" with John MacDonald on March 6, 2008, at NBCA; "Sol LeWitt Comes to North Adams" on April 3, 2008, at Gallery 51; and "What do Galleries Want?" with area gallery owners on May 1, 2008, at Gallery 51.
The talks, which are free and open to the public with registration, generally will be held the first Thursday of every month, from 6 to 8 p.m., at either NBCA in Building 1 at Western Gateway Heritage State Park or in the resource center at Gallery 51.
To register, call Veronica Bosley, program coordinator of the Berkshire Cultural Resource Center, at 413-663-5253. For more information: www.nbcreativearts.org and www.mcla.edu/bcrc
