| Virtual Art Conversations Jef Lambdin and Anne Brennan on Clyde Jones Wednesday, November 18, 6 PM via Zoom |
| Join us for a conversation with Jef Lamdin and Anne Brennan. Born in 1938, Clyde Jones didn’t start to make art until after an injury in 1982. His critters have traveled the world. In 1991, Mikhail Baryshnikov arrived at his door to purchase one, and Clyde, who didn’t sell his work, politely refused. Jef and Anne have been friends with Clyde for years. Hear stories of their friendship and ask them questions about Clyde’s life, his art, and his inspiration. |
