January’s program will feature W James Taylor, a well-known area musician and artist who works in a variety of media. Taylor is currently focused on “Vicissitude”, a series of work based on his experiences growing up as a young black man during the turbulent ’60’s era struggle for civil, social and racial justice. Taylor’s presentation will explore how to become relevant in the art arena and how to avoid the many obstacles that can block success.
