Revealed: Art, Life, Success is an interactive dialogue moderated by art historian, critic and curator, Betty Ann Brown and painter, sculptor and grant consultant Linda Vallejo. Brown and Vallejo have invited a panel of twelve other artists and art professionals to participate in an afternoon dialogue about the intersections of art and life. They will address issues such as professional training, mentorship, inspiration, accomplishments and goals.

The artists and writers on the panel include: Kim Abeles, Judith F. Baca, Samantha Fields, Diane Gamboa, Cheri Gaulke, Lezley Saar, Stacy Schultz, Barbara Smith, June Wayne, Ruth Weisberg, Terry Wolverton, and Kim Yasuda.

This informal but stimulating afternoon dialogue reveals the variety of ways in which women artists and arts professionals understand and interpret their lives through their art work. The audience is integral to this dialogue and encouraged to participate.
