Object as Muse and Material

Join the Wisconsin Academy staff and interdisciplinary artists Nirmal Raja and Millicent Kennedy on Thursday, October 17 at 5:00pm for a captivating virtual artists' conversation, Object as Muse and Material, online via Zoom.

Raja and Kennedy are both fascinated by our emotional attachment to objects and the challenge of letting things go. Whether it’s a piece of family jewelry, a memento from a favorite time or place, or a well-loved tool, our material surroundings are imbued with meaning, memory, culture, and history. 

Don’t miss this enriching dialogue between two remarkable artists as they offer insights into their studio practice and the importance of everyday objects in their work.
