Lecture: Kim Cridler

Join us for a free public lecture from Visiting Artist Kim Cridler. Cridler will present her work in metals and the models that have shaped her practice including an interest in the form and functions of the vessel, to ideas about the work of beauty, cyclical time, and our home in nature.

Trained as a metalsmith, Kim was an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, earned an MFA in Metals from the State University of New York at New Paltz, and studied at Skowhegan School of Sculpture and Painting. Kim has applied her use of steel, structure, and ornament in large-scale public art projects and commissions, as well as maintaining a studio practice. Her work was featured in a retrospective at the Metal Museum in 2022. She most recently served as a tenured faculty in the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after having taught at the University of Michigan, San Diego State University, Arizona State University, and the Penland School of Crafts.
