This is the first program in the Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean exhibition lecture series. 

Join artist Morel Doucet and gallerist Myrtis Bedolla in an engaging and insightful conversation moderated by Wilfried Zeisler, chief curator and deputy director of Hillwood.

This conversation will explore Doucet’s artistic practices and inspiration behind his work, including his pieces The Christening of Land and Water and Olokun, both on display in Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean, as well as Bedolla’s career as a curator, art consultant, and founder and owner of Galerie Myrtis, and her specialization in works created by 20th and 21st century African American artists.

There will be time for a Q&A session at the end of the program.
