ARTIST-GUEST-SPEAKER-SERIES

You don’t have to be starving to be an artist. What better way to correct the misconception that there are no profitable careers in the arts than by inviting successful artists to share their experience? The MHS Unified Art Department is presenting its 2014-15 visiting artist series. This speaker series is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Friends of Marblehead Public Schools, Inc.  Four successful and internationally recognized artists will share their work and talk about their life experience to MHS general student body. Each presentation will be followed by a workshop giving students the opportunity to get some feedback on their own work from each guest artist.

First in the series of four, photographer Olivia Parker will present her work on Wednesday December 10^th. On February 4th coming from NYC graphic artist and designer Luba Lukova will talk about her work on social justice and social awareness. Illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the children series The Lunch Lady, will appear March 11^th. The series will conclude with Rebecca Kamen whose work explores the connection between science and art.
