First Friday Artist Talk with Arthur the Artist
Join us for a special First Friday event with our current emerging artist. The Museum will be open, and free, from 5-8 pm, and Arthur's talk will begin at 6.
Arthur writes:
"The Power of StoryOur lives are stories, and by embracing our narrative, we unleash our power. My current exhibition, Arthur the Artist & The Highcrafter tells a story based on true events in my life over the past several years, chronicling my journey out of depression to finding a life of purpose. The experience was powerful and transformative.
Now, my purpose is to share these experiences and use the power of art to heal, inspire and awaken to the mystery we call life. This talk will go into the stories, process, and meaning behind my work and reveal how power and beauty can be found within our deepest fears." - History Book Club: Never Caught
