February 24, 2022, 6:00 pm

Seating in Lubar is reserved for Members only, with advance reservation and proof of vaccination. The conversation will be livestreamed on Facebook.
“I refer to myself as an artist, not a craftsperson, because that language term feels hyperspecific. When I think about the word ‘craft’ in relation to my practice, it’s as a verb and not a noun.” —Christy Matson
