Meet the Master Artist -- Eddie Dominguez
This evening's discussion features a prominent local collector and Arts Center board member, and noted sculptor Eddie Dominguez speaking on the artist-collector relationship, and the many rewards such a relationship may offer.
Dominguez, recipient of two NEA grants, is known primarily for his monumental organic tableaux exploring environmental issues. Sculpture and pottery as artistic mediums are inherently collaborative undertakings and there is a tactile component to sculpted or ceramic pieces that invites familiarity. Come join us as for an evening designed to illuminate and educate attendees on yet another fascinating aspect of collecting and art ownership.
