Eco-Friendliness Comes to the Arts

Visiting media artist Janet Biggs, whose work centers around issues of power, control, and the environment, will discuss her work in a public lecture being held at the University of Hartford on Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m.  This talk is free and open to the public.

Biggs has exhibited her work internationally for more than 15 years. Because of her interest in the environment, her talk is part of the Park Water Arts Project Festival of Eco-Arts in Hartford.

Biggs’ piece, “Anana Dream,” a single channel video installation, is included in the current New Britain Museum of American Art exhibition, “WomenArtists@NewBritainMuseum,” which is co-curated by Sherry Buckberrough and Nancy Noble of the University of Hartford’s Art History Department.

This lecture is sponsored by the Media Arts Department in the Hartford Art School and the Art History Department in the College of Arts and Sciences, both at the University of Hartford, and funded by the Women in Education and Leadership Fund (WELFund) at the University of Hartford.
