Artist Talk
Join us for this month’s installment of our Coffee with a Curator series, where Museum staff or invited guests speak on a range of Salvador Dalí-inspired topics.
This month, step inside the imaginations of featured artists from Outside In: New Murals Inspired by Dalí. Chad Mize, Miss Crit and Naomi Haverland reveal the stories, symbolism and creative sparks behind their murals.
Discover how each artist channels the surreal spirit of Salvador Dalí into bold, contemporary expressions and explore the unexpected ways Dalí’s legacy continues to influence the art of today.
Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required) or live on YouTube (link below).
This event is free with limited capacity. An event ticket is required for entry.
