Christian Cutler will present the program “Abstract Art- a Visual Statement and a Visual Experience” at a meeting Thursday, Oct. 26, 7 p.m. in the Arts and Crafts Room of the Warrensburg Community Center with the Mid-Missouri artists.

“I hear from a lot of visitors to the gallery that they do not understand abstract art. They make comments such as ‘My kid could paint that.’  I will go over what abstract art is and how the movement developed,” said Cutler.

Cutler received his MFA in photography in 2006 from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Minnesota, where he also assisted the registrar and preparator of the Cranbrook Art Museum. He earned his BA in 1997 from Sewanee: The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee and attended the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland in 1995. He is the Gallery Director at the University of Central Missouri and has served as Director of Galleries for Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas; Director’s Assistant for The Sir Elton John Photography Collection; and Co-Director and Registrar for Jackson Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta, GA. He has also owned an art installation business.
