October 29 at 6 PM
As part of our PRO Network speaker series, Erie Arts & Culture invites the public to attend a virtual presentation and Q&A with photographer Fred Scruton on October 29 at 6 PM.
Fred will illustrate and discuss his collaborative documentation of artists and display-makers who are often referred to as ‘self-taught', ‘visionaries’ or ‘outsiders'. Fred travels widely throughout the U.S. to photograph their artworks and built environments; often befriending the artists through numerous return visits.
We will also livestream this event from our Facebook.
About Fred:
From a home base near Erie, Pennsylvania, Fred Scruton travels extensively throughout the United States to find, photograph, videotape, and write about artists working outside the mainstreams of contemporary art.
Partly a chronicle of his travels, this website showcases the work of many well- and lesser-known non-mainstream artists. Often called ‘outsiders’, ‘self-taught’ or ‘visionaries’, Fred maintains personal friendships with many of the artists and typically makes repeated (and on-going) visits over periods of many years.
