The Scott Artist Series and Colorado State University’s Department of Art and Art History, in collaboration with the Hatton Gallery, will present an artist talk by Rowland Ricketts on March 1 at 5 p.m. in the Iris and Michael Smith Alumni Center Event Hall on the CSU campus.
During his three-day visit, Ricketts will be teaching a hands-on workshop and giving a public lecture. The workshop, based on block print, will be held in the Clara Hatton Gallery.
About the workshop
The hands-on workshop for art majors will be a fantastic opportunity to see an artist creating work on-site and in the space of a gallery – a space usually for displaying finished artwork.
It’s also an opportunity to talk about the richness of Ricketts’ practice and the potential of art and galleries to house a range of events pertinent to the teaching goals of the visual and liberal arts.
