Kenneth Treister: The Fusion of Architecture and Art

Join Dr. Wayne Wood in the auditorium on the June 6 Free First Saturday for a talk on Kenneth Treister, a Florida architect and sculptor whose designs have been described as, “a cross between Frank Lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudi, Auguste Rodin and the Mayans.” His avant-garde approach to creating sensuous environments with unconventional shapes and novel use of materials sets him apart from other designers.
Free as part of Free First Saturday; no reservation needed to attend. Seating is limited to 250 on a first-come basis.
