Peter Morrin & John Begley in the studio (they are always welcome), but in this instance they will be talking about the "AFLOAT: AN OHIO RIVER WAY OF LIFE" project, which exists at the moment as exhibits and lectures about Harlan Hubbard and shantyboats on the Ohio River. We also took time to remember Louisville artist Ann Stewart Anderson, who passed away last week.
Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10:00am to hear Keith Waits talk with artists and curators.
Peter Morrin was the Director of the Center for Arts and Culture Partnerships at UofL from 2010 until his retirement in 2016. The Center sought to find ways in which the University could be of assistance to area arts and cultural organizations, and in turn, make those institutions more a part of the learning experiences of UofL students. Mr. Morrin also taught in the Department of Fine Arts, especially in courses serving the Critical and Curatorial Studies track in the Master’s Degree program.
Prior to coming to UofL, Mr. Morrin was a museum director for 25 years, including 21 years at the Speed Art Museum.

Together they curated:
The Art of Drifting: The Watercolors of Harlan Hubbard
The least known, but arguably the best, artworks in Harlan Hubbard’s body of work are his watercolors. Fresh, improvisatory, and spontaneous, they embody the lively, brief descriptions of nature found in his journals.
Frazier History Museum – running through May 5.
On this audio archive, the show begins at about 9:14.
