Retired art history professor Sada Omoto will be this season’s fourth speaker at the Glen Arbor Art Association’s Talk About Art series.

Omoto will give a presentation at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 18, titled Regionalism Revisited. In the talk, Omoto will focus on art, artists and the culture of northwest Lower Michigan.
SADA OMOTO will talk about Lake Michigan and the surrounding countryside during a presentation on March 18 in the Talk About Art series at the Glen Arbor Art Association.
Born and raised near Seattle and educated in the Midwest (at Oberlin College, Michigan State University and Ohio State University), Omoto taught art history at Bradley University, Wayne State University and MSU. Since moving to Leland in 1997, he has concentrated on painting at the Old Art Building in Leland. He credits his early background with aiding his sensitivity to the diversity of art history traditions, adding it has helped shape his creativity as an artist.

Omoto’s talk will explore the question of how we identify and we relate to geography, history and countryside of the area, including Lake Michigan.

The Talk About Art series is designed to give the community an opportunity to meet accomplished local artists and gain an appreciation and understanding of art and how it is created.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, are held at the GAAA across from Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor. For more information, call 334-6112.
