Join artist Rico Gatson at an evening gallery talk about his works on view at the Mead Art Museum, including a new mural to be painted with Amherst College students. The event is free, open to the public and followed by a reception.

The event is held in conjunction with a new artist project at the Mead.

In October, Gatson inaugurates Hall Walls, an annual project that gives artists and students the freedom to create an ephemeral artwork on the walls of the museum.

Through December at the Mead, Gatson and Amherst students will work together to create the mural. Stay tuned for information about public viewings and the mural unveiling.

Gatson attended Bethel College in Minnesota and received an MFA from Yale School of Art in 1991. He has been part of numerous solo and group exhibitions and his works are held in many public collections, including Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Yale University Art Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum
