Artist Talk | Jim Barker
April 20 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Join us for a chat with photographer Jim Barker as he discusses his project Artisans of the New England.
Initiated in 2022, Barker has documented creatives in the region including painters, sculptors, ceramicists, as well as those who make things with their hands such as clockmakers, furniture restorers, seamstresses and writers. The collective body of work Barker has created over many months not only reveals these individual artists but also captures a view of the foundation of New England’s creative landscape: diverse, engaged, enthusiastic, talented, dedicated artists. The series is a wonderful celebration of our creative community, contributing to the cultural vitality of our region, making New England a place that is creative, vibrant, and alive.
Barker will discuss the project, his first ever exhibition and the accompanying book.
