Leland Little Sponsors NCMA-WS Artist Talk Series
We are proud to support the NCMA-WS as they celebrate the opening of their new downtown gallery in the heart of Winston Salem's entertainment and business district. Focusing on programmatic and interpretive experiences, this new facility will foster meaningful connection and collaboration between artists, visitors, and the broader community.
One such program is a series of artist talks.
What is the NCMA-WS Artist Talk Series? This engaging series offers collectors, art enthusiasts, and members of the community a unique opportunity to connect directly with the artists whose work is featured in the exhibition. Through meaningful conversations, guests gain insight into each artist’s creative process, influences, and techniques across a range of mediums. Select sessions may also feature pairings with fellow community voices, including those rooted in the art world as well as individuals from adjacent industries, offering a broader perspective on the cultural dialogue surrounding the work. Together, these conversations illuminate the ideas and narratives behind the work, inviting guests to look beyond the gallery walls and engage more deeply with the exhibition’s exploration of how artists “preserve, reinterpret, and reimagine the stories we carry.”
