KELLEE WYNNE: art mentor + creative entrepreneur

TAYLOR SHAW: muralist + restaurateur / build your community

Growing up amongst the airbrushed t-shirts and dolphins of Destin, Florida, muralist TAYLOR SHAW learned how to hustle to make the most of the tourist season. Years of hard work in restaurants and side gigs honed many of the skills that have enabled Taylor to make a career creating site-specific murals which have become their own tourist attractions. But how Taylor got out of the kitchen, through an MFA program and into a custom van ready to install a 120-foot mural is a great yarn best told by Lazerchef himself.

LYNNE MAPHIES: visual artist + curator / curating "Day Jobs"

As Lynne Maphies, former Curatorial Assistant at the Blanton Museum of Art, knows firsthand — for many artists, “day jobs” do more than pay the rent. In this fascinating behind-the-scenes conversation, Lynne shares the 10 year process that Veronica Roberts, former Blanton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, directed to create the standout exhibit “Day Jobs.” A dialogue with conceptual artist Sol LeWitt prompted Roberts to explore the different ways that artists establish relationships or get material inspiration from the jobs that sustain them. After receiving hundreds of recommendations from colleagues, scholars, gallerists, and artists in the field, Maphies and the Blanton team selected 100 works by 38 artists whose “day jobs” had a significant impact on their work, grouping works by categories of “other” work the artist performed: Service Industry; Industrial Design; Media & Advertising; Fashion & Design; Caregivers; Finance, Tech & Law; and Art World. Lynne also shares her own “day job” impact, one that redirected her onto her curatorial path.
