About This Event
Tinworks Art: In Conversation, The Earth Beneath Our Feet
Lives and Legacies: Women Ceramists Marguerite Wildenhain and Frances Senska
July 9, 7-9:15pm, Rialto Bozeman
For the second year in a row, Tinworks Art: In Conversation brings together artists, writers, scientists, and creative thinkers from various fields to discuss the topics of our time. From March to July, Tinworks will convene thought leaders from the region and beyond for a series of conversations titled The Earth Beneath our Feet. The conversations have been developed in consideration of Tinworks’ 2025 exhibition season, running June 21 - October 18, which will feature ceramic, clay, and earthen artworks by regional and international, historical and contemporary artists, and a continued activation of Tinworks’ field by ecological artist Agnes Denes. Development and speaker invitation for this second series has been in collaboration with Mary Stein and Mary Murphy.
Tinworks Art: In Conversation are ticketed evening events, open to the public, hosted at the Rialto Theater in downtown Bozeman. Tinworks Art is an artist- and community- centered nonprofit organization and art space that contributes to the cultural and social fabric of greater Bozeman by supporting inclusive and immersive contemporary art experiences for artists and audiences in non-traditional spaces, where art meets the American West.
