As a way of providing a forum for education and critical dialogue, MAWA hosts talks by local and visiting artists and cultural workers. These guests speak to the MAWA community about their personal art practices, topical art issues, art theory, or art history. Lectures are presented through our First Friday lecture series, and Artist Lecture series, as well as through larger thematic symposia.
“What I crave most these days is the critical dialogue around art… the thoughtful, creative and intellectual stimulation that is so hard to find, and that MAWA provides so abundantly.” – Tammy Sutherland, Past MAWA Mentee
