The Art of Seeing: Panel Discussion

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. Edgar Degas
What is the difference between looking and seeing, and how do artists transform perception into art? How does art express human experience across time and cultures and deepen our understanding of ourselves and others? Three local artists—a painter, a photographer, and a printmaker—will share how they translate what they see into their work. Dave Skilling, Edward Peck, and Jane Francis, with moderator Diana Smith, invite you to join the conversation  on Saturday.
