Conversation: Artists and Intentional Walking

Conversation: Artists and Intentional Walking with Lin Lisberger and Professor Kim Theriault

Artists and Intentional Walking brings together artist Lin Lisberger (featured in the University of Southern Maine Art Gallery’s current exhibition, 20 Walks) and University of Southern Maine art history professor Kim Theriault for a public artist talk. Artists and Intentional Walking is a thought-provoking conversation that explores walking as a creative practice, highlighting examples of artists who have used walking to inform their work throughout history.

The discussion takes place indoors at Robie Andrews Hall, located on the University of Southern Maine Gorham campus. The talk will be held in Burnham Lounge (1st Floor) and is free and open to the general public. So that we may have an accurate headcount for the event, we kindly ask that you please register at the Eventbrite link below.
