🎨 Artist Lecture Series | October 1, 2026

Artist, designer, educator, and creative professional Craig Ludwick will be featured in the upcoming Artist Lecture Series on October 1, 2026.

Craig’s creative practice spans traditional and digital art, illustration, graphic design, visual storytelling, character development, and worldbuilding. His work is especially focused on the journey between the first idea and the finished piece: the research, sketches, experiments, revisions, failures, and discoveries that shape the final work.

During his lecture, Craig will share an inside look at his creative process and explore how ideas develop through drawing, design, storytelling, and visual problem-solving. He will also discuss the role that curiosity, experimentation, and persistence play in building a sustainable creative practice.

Rather than focusing only on finished artwork, the presentation will take a look behind the scenes at how creative work actually develops and how an idea can gradually grow into a character, image, story, or imagined world.

📅 October 1, 2026
5:30-6:30pm BOYD TCRM or via the Webex link:

Join the Artist Lecture Series for a conversation about art, process, creativity, and the work that happens between inspiration and the finished piece.

Really cool things are happening at the intersection of agriculture and technology.

Companies like BOPA are showing how new technologies can support the work farmers and producers are already doing in the field, helping create new efficiencies, solve real-world challenges, and open the door to new possibilities.

It’s fascinating to see how quickly AgTech is evolving and, even more importantly, how technology is beginning to meet farmers where they are.

Exciting space to watch!
