Carrie Iverson Artist Talk & e-merge Reminder

As part of our education mission, we offer free artist talks and demonstrations in our Resource Center throughout the year. Upcoming gatherings are posted on our Events page. Please join us. All are welcome.

ARTIST TALK: CARRIE IVERSON

Tuesday, February 5; 6:30pm—7:30pm
*RSVP (required) January 22—February 4

Iverson earned her BFA at Yale and her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Best known as a printmaker and painter, she is quickly building a reputation for works in kiln-glass, which she began as a direct outgrowth of classes taken at Bullseye. Iverson has done a number of publicly visible installations dealing with the Iraq War, including WAKE (at Brooklyn Public Library), for which she garnered a great deal of press. Her work is in permanent collections at MOMA and the Brooklyn Museum (NYC), and the MCA and Art Institute (Chicago). This event is a wonderful opportunity to hear the artist discuss her work and working methods during her solo exhibition at Bullseye Gallery.

Location: Bullseye Resource Center, 3610 SE 21st Avenue, Portland, Oregon
