ART WORKS: Photography Lecture with Pete McArthur | March 17


Still life photographer extraordinaire, Pete McArthur will show and discuss his work on Tuesday, March 17 at 6PM in 1104 S. Wabash, in Film Row Cinema, 8th floor as part of the “Art Works” Photography Lecture Series.

The "Art Works" lecture series features photography industry professionals who make pictures for love and for money. This session is free and open to the public. Art Works is sponsored by the Portfolio Center and the Photography Department.

Over the last twenty years and to great acclaim, Los Angeles-based Pete McArthur has developed his highly recognizable and award-winning signature style featuring playful, clever concepts, bold composition, lush, highly-saturated colors and more than a dash of humor. He's published scores of covers and spreads in Fortune, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Kiplinger's and many others.
