[Virtual] The Working Artist LIVE with Charles Edward Williams
/Ever wonder what a day in the life of a working artist is like? Where their inspiration comes from or how they create their incredible pieces of art? You’re in luck! Our amazing Curatorial team interviewed an artist a week for the month of June — LIVE! Each interview takes a peek into their studio spaces, to learn about their backgrounds, and answers any and all questions about their careers, creative processes, and even advice for other aspiring art world stars.
Watch Laura Putnam, Manager of Exhibitions and Adult Programs, along with our third guest artist, Charles Edward Williams!
A little about our guest: Charles Edward Williams is a contemporary visual artist from Georgetown, SC, and holds a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, GA and an MFA at the University of North Carolina (UNCG) in Greensboro, NC. Creating compelling imagery in oil, video and film, and sound installations, Williams uses his work to investigate current historical cultural events related to racism and stereotyping. His works examine the human emotional responses that lie within cultural identity and build tension to expose the complexities within our sociopolitical environments. Through Williams’ visions, we are encouraged to engage in self-examination, to question the false boundaries that separate us, and tp view the interconnectedness of our common existence.
Recorded Tuesday, June 16 at 6 pm via Facebook Live.
