SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join Treasure Island Museum for a special screening of an award-winning documentary of master wood sculptor Dudley C. Carter and Q+A with filmmaker Abby Sher.
**Sat, March 18, 2023 at 10:30 AM**
**Free and open to the public**
** At Treasure Island Museum in the lobby of historic Building One (1 Avenue of the Palms, Treasure Island, San Francisco 94130)**
About the Event:
How did woodsman and sculptor Dudley C. Carter so captivate Diego Rivera that he enshrined three Dudley Carters at the center of his Pan American Unity mural at the Golden Gate International Exposition? Was it the monumental façade Carter carved for the fair's Shasta-Cascade Building in 1939? Or perhaps the sculptures he created with his double-bitted axe while working near Rivera during the "Art in Action" in 1940?
A career "timber cruiser" in the Pacific Northwest, Carter was also a prolific artist who created monumental sculptures and Haida-Indian inspired dwellings from cedar trees. He also captivated filmmaker Abby Sher, who will screen her award-winning documentary, Dudley Carter, which chronicles Carter's long life as a woodsman and artist witnessing a century of change.
