The CADVC gallery is also the site of the annual “RTKL Lecture,” a fellowship lecture made possible through the generosity of RTKL (Rogers Taliaferro, Kostritsky, & Lamb) Associates Incorporated. The goal of this merit-based award is to support an emerging artist of creative and scholarly excellence who has demonstrated a promise to make an impact on the field.

Alexi Scheiber will discuss her artistic practice culminating in her MFA show: “Awake/Dreaming," a body of work including papermaking, poetry, and experimental animation that imagines a restorative world where humanity lives in harmony with nature, based on implementable climate solutions.

Audience members are respectfully requested to wear a mask during this event, so the speaker may remove her mask for optimal audibility and communication. CADVC realizes masking is a personal decision and ultimately lies with each individual.
