7 artists from ‘Delta Triennial’ to speak at AFMA on Thursday

‘DELTA TRIENNIAL’ ARTIST TALK
THURSDAY 7/25. Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. 6 p.m. Free. 

Seven states is a lot of geographical ground to cover in one exhibition, but the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts is doing its darndest not to cut any corners with “Delta Triennial,” its newest excavation of the Mid-South region. Comprising 46 artists who either live in or were born in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee or Texas, “Delta Triennial” will be on display until Aug. 25. To further flesh out conversations inspired by the exhibition, AMFA is hosting an artist talk featuring seven of the show’s artists — Kevin Demery, Christian Dinh, Anita Fields, Coulter Fussell, Letitia Huckaby, Jerry Phillips (who lives and works in Little Rock) and Andrew Scott Ross — each of whom will represent a different state. Their work spans and blurs the lines between the mediums of photography, ceramics, textiles, drawing, sculpture and installation. Additionally, three other artists from the exhibition — Clark Valentine, Kate Clements and Lisa Krannichfeld — are offering various workshops and demonstrations July 27-28, most of which are also free. Get tickets here.
