Curator Wants To Meet Local Artists [AUDIO]

Artists may want to get that portfolio and resume together because there’s going to be a Portland Art Museum curator visiting Casper. Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson will be at the Nicolaysen Wednesday to present a focus group and get an impression of the artists in our region, says Nic Curator Lisa Hatchadoorian.

“She’s coming to Wyoming to visit some of the different communities in the state to get a sense of the artists and really open herself up the work that’s going on in the state and in the region that she’s responsible for.”

Laing-Malcolmson is the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art, which includes the five states Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.

“It’s a free focus group and presentation that she’s doing at the Nic, so Wednesday the 21st, at one o’clock. And I would encourage all artists to come and bring materials; bring your resume; bring CDs with images of your work, and she will take them her and start compiling a library of artists of the state.”

Ms. Hatchadoorian stressed that the curator needs portfolio samples in a digital format so they can be easily collected into that library of artists in the region.
