Thursday, 7:30 p.m.,

The volume of Hunt's work across a prolific, 40-year-long career has shaped cityscapes and inhabited museum spaces, sculpture gardens, parks and college campuses. Most of his works are metal, and many are monumental in scale. This lecture is presented by the SCAD Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Annual Lecture Series on African-American Art, Trustees Lecture Series, SCAD Museum of Art and the Savannah Black Heritage Festival, and is free and open to the public.
