In a collaboration between the Hermitage Artist Retreat and Art Center Sarasota, three acclaimed visual artists and Hermitage Fellows from across the United States — textile artist Diedrick Brackens, interdisciplinary artist Autumn Knight, and figurative artist Robert Pruitt — offer an intimate and candid discussion about their creative process in “Identity in Art,” an artists-in-conversation program on Friday, August 6, 6:30pm, at the Hermitage Artist Retreat, 6660 Manasota Key Road, Englewood. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. 

“We are excited to welcome these three brilliant artists to the Gulf Coast, and to collaborate with Art Center Sarasota for this summer program,” says Hermitage Artistic Director and CEO Andy Sandberg. “We have no doubt audiences will be inspired as they hear from three visionary and forward-thinking artists about their practice, their process, and their influences.”

This event will be the first in a series of collaborative programs between the Hermitage Artist Retreat and Art Center Sarasota in the 2021-2022 season. This event will be held on the Hermitage campus, with future events taking place at Art Center Sarasota. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org. (Free with a $5 per person registration fee.)
