Kathleen Bitetti gave a free lecture, Quincy and Contemporary Artists, at the the Quincy Historic Society Quincy Historic Society on Thursday, Nov. 15th at 7:30pm.

The City of Quincy has a long history of activism that even predates the well known activism of the Adams family. There are several 20th century born contemporary artists who have spent time in the city of Quincy as children and/or as adolescents who have embraced and integrated activism into their art making practices. Bitetti discussed this little-known aspect of contemporary Quincy history: the large number of major contemporary artists with ties to Quincy.  She discussed the work of May Stevens, Eugene Richards, Annee Spileos Scott, Michael Dowling, Wendy Jacob, and her own work. Bitetti highlighted each artist's connection to Quincy and how that connection may have played a role in that person's work.  In particular she considered the commitment shared by all six to making their art socially and politically relevant.
