An evening talk from artist Sharon Louden, at the New Art Exchange, 39-41 Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham NG7 6BE
Artist Sharon Louden will talk about her new book, The Artist as Culture Producer: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life (Intellect Books, 2017), which offers a collection of essays by 40 visual artists describing how they extend their practices outside of their studios, contribute as change agents in their communities and add to creative economies through their out-of-the-box thinking.
Louden will argue that the misconception of artists as invisible and hidden is far from the truth and that instead artists furnish measurable and innovative outcomes at the front lines of education, the non-profit sector and corporate environments.
Sharon M. Louden is an artist, educator, advocate for artists, and editor of the Living and Sustaining a Creative Life series of books. Sharon's work is held in major public and private collections in the United States, Europe and Asia.
