The South Arkansas Arts Center in El Dorado will host a lecture January 19, 2023 from artist and educator Gay Bechtelheimer on famed American artist Winslow Homer. “The evening of January 19 will be a special night at SAAC with the focus of Gay Bechtelheimer’s art talk on the American artist Winslow Homer,” says as SAAC press release. Homer’s work stands as an important marker in the development of a uniquely American “artistic sensibility” that influenced so many artists in the years beyond Homer.
“We are excited to offer a fun and creative activity to say thank you to our membership. By offering the lecture series free of charge, we hope to remind our members just what a wonderful community SAAC is, and how much their support means,” says Laura Allen.
The January 19 lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. with a brief reception in the gallery at the South Arkansas Arts Center, followed by Gay’s presentation in the theater to follow.
