KMAC TRIENNIAL

Artists' Series

Hunter Stamps and John Harlan Norris

Saturday, October 26th, 2019 

2:00 - 3:00pm

You’re invited to hear from KMAC Triennial artists Hunter Stamps and John Harlan Norris as they speak about their KMAC Triennial pieces, their respective artistic practices, and what it means to be contemporary artists in Kentucky. Stamps and Norris both approach bodily forms in their work, though Stamps’ ceramic objects and Norris’ graphic paintings provide vastly different ways to approach shared themes. After each presentation, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions in the galleries with the artists’ work present.
