    This workshop will be team-taught by art historian Richard May III and curator Lisa Henry.

    Coinciding with the Riverside Art Museum’s exhibition of Abstract painter June Edmonds, this four-part workshop will survey the hidden history of American Abstract art. Focusing on the vibrant work of LA based artist June Edmonds, the workshop will give participants a background on American abstract painters with a special focus on women and artists of color like Edmonds who have pursued a path of abstraction with an emphasis on color, pattern and texture to create works of stunning power.

    Each week, both instructors will present brief lectures on specific topics related to abstract art, followed by engaged discussion regarding art appreciation, interpretation and personal identity. Each class will use the works of June Edmonds as a prism for a wider consideration of contemporary abstract painting. A reading list will also be posted for participants that want to delve further into the field.

    The gatekeepers of “traditional” publishing let comparatively few new authors in. What are the other ways a writer can bring a book into print? Join Inlandia and Riverside Public Library for a panel of authors who have published with micro, small, and independent presses who are changing the face of publishing today. Jo Scott-Coe, Romaine Washington, Allen Callaci, and others will be on hand to share what they’ve learned along the way.

    A pre-panel lineup of writers will read and share from their work beginning at 6:30. Booksellers will be on hand to share, sell, and sign their books beginning at 6:00 PM.
