Artist Talk: Willie Cole
Join us for the next event in our Artist Talk series, featuring the dynamic American sculptor, printmaker, designer, perceptual engineer, and visual artist Willie Cole. In this compelling talk, Cole will share how he transforms everyday found objects into powerful works of art, drawing inspiration from traditional African imagery and cultural references.
This drop-in experience is included with Museum admission and is free for Members. Admission tickets are available at the door or online.
The Artist Talk series welcomes emerging, mid-career, and established artists to share what it means to live creatively. Discussing motivation, medium, and technique, artists will reveal how and why their work expresses their emotions and ideas.
