Trinity’s Department of Art and Art History invites you to a lecture by artist Bret Price. Price is a contemporary sculptor interested in the challenges of raw material against the forces of nature. Whether the work is large or small, Price’s focus is to convey an unexpected sense of movement and balance.

Price’s work has been collected into public and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, and are notably featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Pepsico Collection in New York. Price lives and works in Orange County, California, spends part of the year working out of a sprawling sculpture farm in New Bremen, Ohio, and is a proud parent of a Trinity University alumna.

On the Trinity campus, Price’s large sculpture, Rapture, greets visitors outside Laurie Auditorium. Price will spend several days working with students, providing Senior Critiques, and visiting classes.

Price’s public lecture will immediately precede the opening reception of By Design: Celebrating 20 Years of Art from Janet and Jim Dicke II. The By Design exhibition, featuring art from Trinity’s permanent art collection – including Price’s art – will run from October 15 to December 14, and is a cornerstone of the Trinity University Festival of the Arts (TUFA), and highlighted during Alumni Weekend. During TUFA, November 8-16, the exhibition will be open every day.

The Stieren Arts Enrichment Series is made possible through the generosity of Jane and the late Arthur Stieren of San Antonio.
