Oakland University Art Gallery

Today the current exhibition "Who Were They Then" curated spectacularly by Dick (Stephen ) Goody in Oakland University's Art Gallery closed to a large-audienced final artists' discussion. All the artists: Morgan Barrie, Carole Harris, Mel Rosas, Clinton Snider, and Bryant Tillman, participated in a free wheeling and informative discussion regarding their own works, the evolution of their art from the past until today, and their thoughts about the future of their art. Some people in the audience were artists, others, like myself, were aficionados. The discussion was understandable. All the artists explained their art and why they've done what they did in the past, what they are currently doing and why, and what they think their future directions might be.  I have been to many gallery openings and closings and have not experienced any that came close to being as good as this one was. This was educational, instructive, fun. Clicking on photos will enlarge them.
