Art Talks Live - Eddy Mumma: Compelled to Create

Presented by Gadsden Arts Center & Museum at Online/Virtual Space

While the museum is closed to the public to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are continuing to offer ways to bring great art experiences to you!Join fellow art lovers in this online forum to learn about the life of Eddy Mumma, a lonely shut-in living in Gainesville, Florida, who painted over 1,000 works and refused to sell a single one. The story shares how this reclusive master colorist and his work were discovered, and later, how 800 of his artworks were rescued from the dumpster, to later arrive in major U.S. museums. Anissa Ford, Education Director will give this presentation via ZOOM, followed by opportunities for discussion.This live program is open to all Gadsden Arts members. Not sure if you're a member?
