ART TALK: JEROME BIAS

Art Talk with Jerome Bias will be on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. at the Mobile Museum of Art. A self-taught woodworker, Bias has been making period furnishings and studying Southern decorative arts for more than 20 years, using the work of Thomas Day, and other unnamed enslaved individuals, as inspiration. He has worked and presented in Old Salem Museums and Gardens, Winterthur Museum, and most recently served as an artist in residence at Belle Grove Plantation. In explaining the work of Day, Bias showcases the tools he uses today and demonstrates the kinds of techniques that Day himself would have used more than 150 years ago. This event is open to the community. For more information, visit here: mobilemuseumofart.com/our-programs/art-talk-on-thomas-day-with-jerome-bias/
