FREE Conference with pre-registration (by Sept. 20, 2008) Contact: (530.756.3938, ext. 202) I don’t know of anyone else who is doing this
level of interdisciplinary collaboration between the visual,
musical and literary arts. It’s the great work. The 6th annual Beat Generation and Beyond Conference, the premier collaborative conference, convenes this year on November 4th. Hosted by the John Natsoulas Center for the Arts, the conference offers a rare opportunity for attendees to meet world-renowned poets, jazz musicians, filmmakers, and artists of the Beat Generation. Free to the public, the conference celebrates the Beat artists and their descendants, and continues to document a period rich in collaboration and creativity. A gallery wide exhibition of Beat art, concurrent with the one-day conference and running from November 1st through November 25th will feature paintings by Jay de Feo, Jose Ramon Lerma, Wally Hedrick, Ralph Johnson, Roy De Forest, Michael Bowen, Clay Spohn and many other Beat greats. Register early, as seating is limited this year. Those for whom the San Francisco Beat phenomenon is
merely the stuff of legend can get a taste of the real thing
in an all-day conference sponsored by the John Natsoulas Gallery
in Davis. |
