The Colorado Arts and Crafts Society Annual Meeting
January 17, 2015 |
Please join The Colorado Arts and Crafts Society on Saturday, January 17, 2015 for our annual meeting and symposium. We’ll begin at 4:00pm with a cocktail hour where beer, wine, and light appetizers will be served. Promptly at 4pm, our guest lecturer Richard Mohr will delight us with his presentation on American Art Tile. Afterwards, our annual business meeting will take place followed by the buffet. Admission is $40 for members ($50 for guests) and will include a catered dinner brought to us by The Pines at Genesee. If you would prefer to just come for Richard’s lecture, the price will be $10 for members, and $15 for non-CACS members. RSVP to Cynthia at 720-497-7632 by January 9th. As a reminder, many memberships are up for renewal at this time of year as well.
This year, we are honored to have Richard Mohr as our guest speaker. Richard is a decades-long writer and frequent lecturer on American Arts & Crafts tiles. He has been a plenary speaker at the annual Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts conference on four occasions, talking on great lodges of the West, the Van Briggles, and twice on art tiles. Since 1993, he has been a regular contributor to the Journal of the American Art Pottery Association with consciousness-raising, puzzle-solving, and scholarly works including multi-part articles on Van Briggle tiles (2007), Rookwood tiles (2010), Prairie School architects’ uses of tiles (2011-12), and Teco tiles (2013-14). He has also published on art pottery and tiles in Flash Point (Tile Heritage Foundation), Folk Art, American Bungalow, Old House Journal, and Interpreting Ceramics. He is the author of the book Pottery, Politics, Art: George Ohr and the Brothers Kirkpatrick (2003) and curated Anna Pottery: Plagiarism as Art at the Krannert Art Museum of the University of Illinois, from which he has recently taken emeritus status as Professor of Philosophy and of the Classics.
