Artist Talk with Peter Charlap

Friday, August 15, from 4 PM to 5 PM

Join Peter for a wonderful discussion on artistic creativity–a dynamic interplay of inspiration, technique, iteration, and intuition. It’s a quiet magic, or a “seance” as Peter describes it, between the artist and canvas that transforms the intangible and emotional into something visible and concrete.

As an artist and academic, Peter is the person to lead the discussion with insight, wit, and fun!
