Noted Nashville artist Michael McBride will talk about his journey in art during the free educational program of the Arts Council of Williamson County (ACWC), “Art: Up Close & Personal,” Monday, February 8, 2010, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Williamson County Public Library.
McBride explains how he relates to his work, “Art provides a tool for communication between the viewer and me. Color is a major component in that communication, which can evoke different moods and ideas. I believe in presenting images that reflect positive ideas and situations. It is important for the viewer to see my work and view the contents based on their life experiences.”
Scott B. Hodes, director of visual arts for the Arts Council of Williamson County, points out, “The lecturers have been asked to share the experiences that have culminated in that artisan being able to fulfill the role of professional working artist in the community, such as background, history, choices and decisions, education and technique, work experience, and artistic and life influences.”
The Williamson County Public Library and O’More College of Design are co-sponsors for this series developed to educate students in the arts as well as those in the community who have an interest in the arts. The lecture series is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The main branch of the Williamson County Public Library is located at 1314 Columbia Avenue in Franklin. For more information about the event or the Arts Council, visit www.artscouncilwc.org or call (615) 428-3845. Additional Images:
