About This Event
Sun Journal Executive Editor Judith Meyer sits down with Maine artist and longtime activist and humanitarian Robert Shetterly for a conversation during a live event at the Bates Mill Atrium on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Robert Shetterly is a self-taught artist whose work is in collections around the world. A former editorial page illustrator for The Maine Times and well-known for his series of 70 painted etchings based on William Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell,” and over the past 20 years he has produced a series of more than 260 historical and contemporary portraits of Americans Who Tell the Truth. The entire collection will be on exhibit at the Bates Mill Atrium from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15. This is only the second time the entire collection of these portraits of American figures – including teachers, activists, attorneys, veterans, poets, environmentalists and others who have faced enormous challenges in seeking and confronting truth – will be seen in one place.
