Art Around Athens

Julie Phillips beat us to the punch on tonight's visiting artist lecture at the Lamar Dodd School of Art by Piper Shepard, an incredible fiber artist. It's at 5:30 p.m. in room S151 of the Dodd.

Also, ceramicist Kevin Snipes has started a 10-day residency on campus. He's in the middle of a workshop that began this morning at 9 a.m. and will be doing another one tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the ceramics studio downstairs from our offices, plus giving a lecture on Thursday, February 25, at 5 p.m. in room S150 of the Dodd.

Snipes is currently an Artist-in-Residence at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, a public, nonprofit educational institution founded in 1951 by brick maker Archie Bray outside of Helena, Montana. He holds a BFA in Ceramics and Drawing from the Cleveland Institute of Art and an MFA from the University of Florida. Snipes’ work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in Jingdezhen, China.

Both the workshops and the lecture are free and open to the public.
