Bristol Art Museum to Host an ‘Artist Talk’ for Look Harder, See More

The Bristol Art Museum announces an Artist Talk featuring artists from its current exhibit, Look Harder, See More, on Sun., Sept. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Museum, 10 Wardwell St. The discussion is open to the public. Museum curator and board member Mary Dondero will moderate the discussion.

The talk will feature a distinguished panel of artists in Look Harder, See More, including Elizabeth de Bethune, Stephen Fisher, M. Benjamin Herndon, Rebecca Hutchinson, Denis Leonti, Jesse Thompson, Christopher Terry, and Gilbert Travers. These artists, each with a unique vision and style, will discuss the inspiration behind their works, the techniques they employ, and the stories that inspire their creativity.

“Our latest exhibit, Look Harder, See More, implores the artists and observer to ask fundamental questions such as what does it mean to look harder and see more in art," said Dondero. “This query will provide each artist the opportunity to share their interpretation and set the tone for the discussion. The discussion will also delve into the various techniques the artists used and how these approaches encourage deeper observation. As the moderator, I will also ask each artist about their inspiration.”
​
Look Harder, See More is an exhibit that challenges viewers to explore art from new and unexpected perspectives. The Artist Talk offers an opportunity to hear directly from the creators themselves, providing insights into their processes and the deeper meanings behind their pieces. Artists, art enthusiasts, and those curious about the creative process will enrich one’s experience of the exhibit.
