Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River

With Artist Tony Foster and Exhibition Curator Karen McWhorter

Saturday, July 15
Program: 10 a.m.
Reception: 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Join us for a program focused on one of this summer’s special exhibitions at the Center of the West: Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River. Artist Tony Foster and Exhibition Curator Karen McWhorter, who is also the Center’s Director of Curatorial, Education, and Museum Services, talk about their journey to the perfect vantage point for Squaretop Mountain, the film that chronicles the trip, and the creation of the exhibition of Foster’s works.

The presentation in the Coe Auditorium is followed by a reception of light fare in our beautiful Braun Garden.

This program is made possible by the Peter Hassrick Public Program Fund.
