On these exclusive tours, members will engage in insightful discussions, support local talent, and be inspired by the creativity on display.
About "Face Yourself"
Portraiture in its many forms allows us to look at the ways that the self can be represented. No matter how realistic or abstract, the way that one conveys themselves gives us insight into how they see themselves. The details one chooses to represent or omit, the context or setting or lack thereof and even the materials being used are all ways that we as artists can share who we are with the primary subject of our work being ourselves.
About Nathan Cobbs
Nathan started with MAG as a teaching assistant in the Creative Workshop. Nathan was able to let their passion lead the way, and their role progressed naturally into the curation and installation of the Lucy Burne Gallery. Originally from Washington, DC, Nathan graduated from the University of Rochester, double majoring in Studio Art and Art History with a focus on visual cultural studies and exhibition work. Nathan’s goal for the Lucy Burne Gallery is to elevate the experience of the gallery by introducing themes that prompt students to deeply reflect on and discuss the subject matter, meaning, technique, and process of their art.
