Creativity Symposium IV

Creativity in Troubled Times: Transition and Transformation

Moderator: Professor Ruth Saxton of Mills College

Using Virgina Woolf's To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway as our guide we
will discuss the role of creativity as transition and transformation in
troubled times, exploring how Woolf "makes
us question the meanings of life and death, love and war, family life and
the competing claims of art or profession, intimacy and privacy".

Panelists:

Carol Dalton, painter and printmaker
Professor Marilyn DaSilva, CCA, Metal Arts Department Chair, artist
Mary Eichbauer, musician
Mike Kendall, sculptor
Lee Wilder Snider, painter, current President, Arts Benicia

Abacus Series #13, by Carol Dalton (shown above)
7" x 7" monotype, 14" x 14" framed size,

All proceeds to benefit the Creative Women Symposium.
