Celebrating the Sculptor

More than 50 people attended a panel discussion focused on Chakaia Booker, the Karl Stirner Arts Trail’s 2024 Artist-in-Residence, at Buck Hall in downtown Easton on Sept. 15. Artists Willie Cole and Berrisford Boothe and scholar Robert Mattison talked about her work and posed questions to the artist, who also answered questions from the audience.

Afterward, a shuttle bus took people to the Karl Stirner Arts Trail for a reception near the sculpture by Booker installed on the trail’s Movie Hill last week, No More Milk and Cookies. Booker will be part of a public art-making workshop at that location on Oct. 12 from noon–2 p.m.

The installation and presence of No More Milk and Cookies on the arts trail and Booker’s KSAT residency are supported in part with funding from the Hotel Tax and Grow NORCO grant programs through the County of Northampton’s Department of Community & Economic Development, a Crayola Community Grant, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, through the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts, its regional arts funding partnership.
