One Saturday,
Two Artist Talks
Port Townsend artists Randy Sturgis and Peter Koronakos will give talks about their extraordinary work on view at Jeanette Best Gallery — both on the same Saturday afternoon.
Join these two makers to hear about their inspirations and their approaches to their art forms: wild abstract paintings for Randy and found-object sculptures for Peter.
These artist talks are free to the public, and questions are always encouraged.
Here's the schedule on Saturday, April 18:
• 2:30 p.m. Poet Claudia Hollander-Lucas, a friend of Randy's, will give a short reading. Then Randy will give his talk and answer questions.
3:15 p.m. Peter Koronakos will share stories behind his assemblage animals — which are made out of many things, from lunch boxes to ping-pong paddles. Peter will also respond to questions at the end of his talk.
Both talks are at Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water St., Port Townsend.
Learn more about Peter and Randy's exhibit here.
