Art of Conversation:  Laura Bickford

Saturday, February 8, 2025 at 1:00 pm

In conjunction with the Essential Creativity: The Self-Taught Art of Rudy Rotter exhibit, Curator Laura Bickford will speak about the preponderance of artists in our region who made art work in addition to other full-time jobs. 

Laura Bickford is Curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center where she oversees the Art Preserve and related exhibitions at the Arts Center. Previously, she was the William S. Arnett Curator at the Souls Grown Deep Foundation in Atlanta, Georgia. Bickford has had a lifelong love of all things handmade, embellished, encrusted, fried, miniature, and oversized which has led to her professional pursuit of the vernacular, the extraordinary every day, and objects created on the margins of culture.

This program is free and open to the public.
