BECKET, Mass. - All area residents are invited to attend Michael Melle’s spirited lecture / live demonstration on July 13 at the Becket Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. This is a free lecture in conjunction with the Marty Lasker Lecture Series.
Michael is well recognized for his ability to create lifelike figures from hay and sticks. His remarkable figures have an uncanny life and sense of movement. He will create a unique and one of a kind figure in the upstairs gallery of the Becket Arts Center.
Michael’s work has been exhibited throughout the Berkshires: at the Lichtenstein, Santarella, Williamsville Inn, the Berkshire Botanical Garden, the Clark Art Institute, and currently at Dr Lahey’s Garden Center. He studied painting at UMass and presently resides in Plainfield with his family.
This is the second lecture for the 2009 Marty Lasker Lecture Series. Successive programs will be held Monday evenings during July and August. All programs are free and will be held in the air-conditioned Philip Barber Gallery (upstairs gallery) at the Becket Arts Center. Seating for all presentations is on a first-come, first-served basis. Refreshments are available following each lecture.
