10 European Art Masterpieces That Everyone Should See Before They Die - with Gary Faigin

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts 565 Camano Ave Langley, WA 98260 (map)

Join Seattle artist, art educator, tour leader, and art critic Gary Faigin for a lively presentation exploring ten not-to-be-missed art experiences in Europe. These are culled from his many years of leading art tours to capitols like Rome, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin. More than simply a “best-of” list, this talk is a quick tour through some of the most compelling artist personalities and stories of Western Art…a rewarding evening even for the armchair traveler.

Gary Faigin is the Artistic Director and co-founder of the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle. He has led art tours to Europe for the past 20 years, including most of the important art centers from Budapest to Barcelona. He was the monthly art critic on Seattle’s NPR station, KUOW for ten years, and currently writes art reviews for the Seattle Times. He has also lectured at the Seattle Art Museum.

Gary Faigin is also the author of "The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression"

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
