Sat. Aug. 6, 2022, 4-5:30 p.m.
McBride Studio, 640 KS-177, Matfield Green, KS 66862

Lawrence-based artist and Caldecott medalist, Stephen will discuss his many wide-ranging projects from public artworks created for site specific sites across America to the inner pages of his award-winning children’s books. Improvisational and playful creative associations using the contextual surroundings of Matfield Green may also happen based on thoughts and concepts of the audience members. Mission: Have fun with ideas! Long-time Matfield fans will remember Stephen’s exhibition of abstract works at the Gallery at Pioneer Bluffs.

Guests are invited to bring a picnic supper and cold beverages and linger afterwards to catch the sunset on the beautiful 4 miles of hiking trails on the adjacent PrairyArt Path. Bring sun-protective clothing, bug spray and a refillable water bottle if you plan to hike.

Maximum guests: 25
