Artist Talk: Erin LeAnn Mitchell

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art

Artist's Talk and Mural Unveiling with Erin LeAnn Mitchell

Join artist Erin LeAnn Mitchell and SLOMA Chief Curator Emma Saperstein for an informal Q&A about Mitchell’s practice at large and the concept behind her new piece at the Museum. Stick around afterward to be among the first to see her completed mural on SLOMA's building, Calafia Was Here. Space is limited to 35 seats so please RSVP early. ASL interpretation will be available. COVID-19 protocols will be in place per SLO County guidelines. Erin LeAnn Mitchell’s work, Calafia Was Here, references the fictional black warrior queen and the unrecorded histories of Black Americans in the West. The design is a nod to Erin’s existing textile practice and utilizes quilting motifs and ornamented designs. It is the second in a series of murals that cover all four sides of the Museum’s building in downtown San Luis Obispo. Scheduled to change on an annual basis, San Luis Obispo Museum of Art selects emerging artists with diverse backgrounds from across the country.
