Inspiring Fine Art Talk at Marco Island Center for the Arts

Next date: Wednesday, October 08, 2025 | 11:00 AM

Marco Island Center for the Arts is proud to present Inspiring Fine Art Talk with Rob Eder, a compelling and insightful art presentation on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Join us for a unique opportunity to experience the world of art through the eyes of artist and art educator Rob Eder, as he takes attendees on a thought-provoking journey through the lives and legacies of Caravaggio, Édouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Jasper Johns.

With decades of experience as both a practicing artist and dedicated educator, Rob Eder brings a deeply informed and passionate perspective to the conversation. Through this engaging talk, he will explore how these four revolutionary artists broke with tradition, redefined artistic norms, and laid the groundwork for the evolution of modern and contemporary art.

From dramatic realism to abstract expression, the presentation will examine how each artist's innovations continue to resonate in today’s creative landscape. Attendees will gain insights into artistic technique, cultural context, and personal expression—woven together with Rob’s signature wit and wisdom.
