Artist in Residence: Brice Garrett Artist Talk

Artist in Residence: “Object Stories” Talk with Visual Artist Brice Garrett

Brice used his time at the Bethany Arts residency this fall to develop ideas of community and participatory artworks. Inspired by dozens of images of objects submitted by community members, “Object Stories” documents people’s relationships to the personal things around the home that shape our everyday lives. Along with work made at Bethany, Brice will talk about previous projects leading up to his current works in progress.

Talk on Facebook Live.
