The Arts for Life conference is a full-day event organized to inspire and inform secondary students of career options in the arts. Throughout the day, professional artists from a variety of disciplines share their stories and their work. Presenters have included visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, architects, designers, and animators, each offering their unique perspective.
The 2007 Arts for Life Conference was a wonderful day for the over 120 Richmond high-school students who attended. This year’s roster of artists included:
• Opening key-note – Liz Magor, interdisciplinary artist and educator
• Eliza Au, ceramic artist
• Danny Singer, photographer
• Kevin McKenzie, sculptor
• Ann Marie Fleming, flim-maker
• Diyan Achjadi, print-maker, multi-media artist
• Chad Smith, storyboard artist
We greatly appreciate the Richmond School Board for sponsoring this event. Thank you to Assistant Superintendent Jim Martens, and all the Richmond Art Teachers, student volunteers, and Gallery volunteers who participated in making this event a success!
