About Our Speakers

Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes appropriation from painting’s history along with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of subject and formalism spans further to her work in collage, sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. Hinton holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts from Mills College, where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is the recent recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Hinton is also an art educator, curator, and writer.

Douglas Bauer has written seven books. His most recent,The Beckoning World, was longlisted for The Massachusetts Book Award in fiction, and What Happens Next: Matters of Life and Death, won the PEN/New England award in nonfiction. He has won grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in both fiction and creative nonfiction and has taught at Harvard, where he was given two Harvard-Danforth Center awards for excellence in teaching, as well as at Rice University, Smith College, and the Bennington College Writing Seminars.
