FREE Live Art Salon: Radical Relief Multimedia Artist Matthew Kowalski in conversation with Anne Veh
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Multimedia artist Matthew Kowalski will be in conversation with Anne Veh on Saturday, August 10, from 1-3 pm at Haight Street Art Center. FREE.
Matthew Kowalski shares his personal healing journey and the role of Radical Relief artwork in his path, in conversation with independent curator and art consultant Anne Veh.
Multimedia artist Matthew Kowalski spent 27 years as a homeless, disenfranchised person. His artistic journey became his vehicle for self-expression and his path to taking a place in the community. He uses multiple techniques and incorporates found objects and other media to make the flat surface come alive. Matthew has authored two books about his experience, including Riding Shotgun Through a Hurricane: A Memoir of Addiction and Radical Recovery, a gripping memoir of his journey from gifted child to homeless in San Francisco to his recovery from addiction.
“Matt Kowalski’s story is a true ‘rags to riches’ of the spirit … Matt is one who ‘walks the talk’ as an inspiration and role model.” – David Kroziere, developer and cofounder of Art on Site.
Matthew also works as an inspirational speaker, and as an addiction Recovery Coach and Addiction Specialist.
Matthew will be on-site at Hayes Valley Art Works (295 Oak St, SF) each weekend in August and the first weekend of September, making art and music with art and musical guests. Come by and make art and music with us!
This event is part of the exhibition series RADICAL RELIEF presented by Hayes Valley Art Works, and as part of the Live Art Salon series with Art on Site.
