A unique opportunity to hear a poet and a painter in conversation. 

Former Ann Hall Artist in Residence, Holly Wren Spaulding joins artist, writer, and curator, Richard Kooyman to discuss recent bodies of work, art, difficulty, perception, intuition, the role of Nature in their process, friendship across disciplines, and what they’re thinking about as they emerge from the pandemic’s long isolation. Holly will also share from her new book, Familiars, which was conceived during her 2017 residency at The Old Art Building, and published during the pandemic by Alice Greene & Co. 
 
Books and letterpress prints will be available.
