DONALD CURLEY
LECTURE SERIES
Our primary goal for the past ten years of the Donald Curley Art Series continues to broaden the discussion about creativity and how it connects to the world we live in. We have had an extensive range of speakers address an impressive number of topics and hundreds have attended.
About
Our goal is to create the opportunity for more people to attend the series throughout the year. As information on all four talks becomes available it will be posted below.
The money raised from the Donald Curley Art Series funds our artist in residence program. Ceramic Artist Claire Olwen Stewart was our first artist in residence and we are proud to say the work she completed during the two-month residency was exceptional. In 2019 emerging artist Marley Johnson participated in our second residency and brought his unique approach of working fluidly between painting, drawing and assemblage. Marley’s final exhibition demonstrated dedication and commitment to his art.
