Ted Degener has spent 50+ years trekking across the U.S., seeking encounters with and photographing 400+ makers of art environments. At Home with Artists—the photographer’s first major exhibition—features a selection of portraits by Degener, accompanied by pieces by L.V. Hull, Leonard Knight and Dr. Charles Smith. Hear from the curator of the exhibition, Annalise Flynn, about Degener and his artistic practice and learn about the artists and art environments featured in his photographs and home videos.
