The Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art have co-organized an artist’s talk with Whitney Bedford, a California artist who looks to art history, especially Impressionist painters, to make startlingly colored and brilliantly graphic images. Even though Bedford is a thoroughly contemporary artist, her work exists in a deep dialog with 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century artists.

Bedford’s artworks are currently on view as part the exhibitions New Landscape I (November 1 -- December 8, 2023) at the Atkinson Gallery and Inside/Outside (June 11 -- February 8, 2024) at Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The talk will be held at the Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College.
