JOIN FORSTALL ART IN CELEBRATING 25 YEARS IN BIRMINGHAM!

Forstall Art Center is celebrating 25 years of serving Birmingham’s art community, and we’ve loved every minute of it! In recognition of our 25th anniversary we are co-hosting two events with UAB’s Department of Art and Art History at the beautiful Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts. 

In collaboration with the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Department of Art and Art History, Forstall Art Center presents the Creativity, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Lecture Series featuring Art Graham of M. Graham Artist Colors and Mark Golden of Golden Artist Colors at the AEIVA Hess Family Lecture Hall.

EVERY ARTIST DESERVES THE FINEST COLOR
Arthur Graham is an artist and color chemist who has been making artist’s color for more than 40 years. Longtime colorist and chemist for Grumbacher, Mr. Graham started his own paint company 22 years ago. All M. Graham paints are made in small batches in Portland, Oregon, and the company remains one of the few artist quality paint manufacturers in the U.S. With one foot in the business world and one in the art world, Mr. Graham is tasked with preserving the traditions of the past while forging ahead with innovative processes and products for today’s artists. Mr. Graham will explain the importance of eco-friendly business practices, as well as the quality and composition of artists’ color – specifically the ingredients, types of processing and nature of pigments. Come learn how to evaluate the quality of color like an expert!

Thursday, September 17, 6-8pm, AEIVA Hess Family Lecture Hall, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1221 10th Ave. S.
