The Pulse of Mixed Media, Book Release with Seth Apter & Local Contributing Artists
Saturday, April 28, 10:30-12:00 pm
Imagine that you have been invited to have an intimate discussion with all of your favorite artists: a one-on-one show and tell. You can ask them anything, no holds barred, and hear first-hand the personal stories behind their artwork. This is what you will find on the pages of “The Pulse of Mixed Media,” where over 130 artists share their thoughts, feelings and artistic creations in response to a series of questions about their art and their experience as artists. And for one day only, this is what you can experience in person at Two Hands Paperie. Join us for a panel discussion and meet author Seth Apter and contributing Colorado artists Lisa Hoffman, Sarah Fishburn, Fran Meneley and Marie Danti. The panel members will discuss their contributions to the book, answer audience questions, show samples of their artwork, share their personal creative process, and sign copies of the book. This will be an opportunity to have an insider’s view into the heart and mind of the artists and is an event not to be missed.
