Artist Amplified with Megan Thomas and Brad Robinson
Thursday, March 14, 6:30 pm
Senska Center for Education and Engagement at the Archie Bray Foundation
Free and open to the public.
Join us at the Bray as long term resident artist, Megan Thomas, and Bray Administrative Manager, Brad Robinson, share the stage and get audience members ready for spring as they share their research and knowledge of birds, pottery, and the local Helena trail systems (yes, you read that right!) Discover Megan’s artwork and hear how her research on historical bird pots have influenced it, then dive into Helena’s local flora, fauna, and Helena’s extensive trail system as Brad talks about the amazing resource, helenaoutdoors.com. A must not miss night of an enjoyable pairing of minds and ideas around two outwardly different yet delightfully similar perspectives.
Our Artist Amplified lecture and demonstration series allows artists and art enthusiasts to share their history, process, and conceptual motivations with the public through various presentation formats. We can’t wait to discover what Megan and Brad have to share!
