Painter Brad Kahlhamer will present the next Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist Lecture. His art lives at the crossroads of real and imaginary worlds. Born to Native parents and adopted by a German-American family, he spent his early adulthood as a musician living on the road before settling in New York City. Shaped by this nomadic history, his work explores the particularities of the American landscape, the desert ecology of the Southwest, the parks and waterways of the upper Midwest, and the gritty streets of the urban Northeast—often fusing references to multiple regions within a single work of art.

This lecture is free and open to the public. The lecture will be presented virtually. Access the lecture at https://unl.zoom.us/j/91416909830.
