Keynote Lecture: Art, Athletics and the Marks We Make

Join us for a rare conversation with renowned artist William Wegman and NHL defenseman Jacob Trouba as they discuss their groundbreaking collaboration at the intersection of contemporary art and professional sport. Beginning with the physical impact marks created by Trouba’s body during play, Wegman transforms these traces into striking painterly works that challenge traditional ideas of authorship, performance, and collaboration. Moderated by Senior Curator, Alana Hernandez, the artists will explore creative risk, discipline, identity and the unexpected connections between artistic and athletic practice, offering an inside look at how two seemingly different worlds converge through experimentation and shared curiosity. Admission is Free, Space is Limited.
