McKnight Discussion Series

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design is pleased to present the McKnight Discussion Series featuring Janet Dees, curator of modern and contemporary art at The Block Art Museum, Northwestern University, in conversation with McKnight 2019 fellows Leslie Barlow, Mary Griep, Melvin Smith. All are invited to attend. Non-MCAD guests must register via Eventbrite.

Tuesday, May 24, 6:30–8:00 p.m., Auditorium 150 and live streamed (Zoom link)

This program pairs a visiting critic with two McKnight Visual Artist Fellows and offers attendees an opportunity to learn more about the fellowship recipients as well as how their work intersects with broader contemporary art ideas and concerns. This event is generously supported by the McKnight Foundation.
