About this Event

Begin the evening with live music and fresh oysters, then join us for a conversation with Mitch Ryerson, artist, designer, and craftsman whose work is part of the Art Complex Museum's permanent collection and featured in American Beauty.

Ryerson will discuss his practice and the work on view, offering an inside look at how he approaches wood, form, and function. With a career spanning boat building in Maine to major public commissions enjoyed by thousands across the Boston area, Ryerson brings both a maker's precision and a storyteller's ease to his work. His furniture and sculptural pieces inhabit the space between fine art and functional object — inviting you to look as closely as you might sit.
