Keynote Speaker: Peter Clothier
Peter Clothier is an internationally known novelist, art critic, and blogger. He seeks to achieve a harmony of mind, heart, and body in his work, and looks for this quality in the artists he writes about. He is the author of two novels, two books of poetry, a memoir, a monograph, and more recently a collection of political essays, The Bush Diaries. His newest publication, Persist: In Praise of the Creative Spirit in a World Gone Mad With Commerce, addresses the predicament of the creative individual in a culture in which celebrity and money too often count for more than talent and quality of work. Currently, Clothier’s blogs, “The Buddha Diaries” and “Persist: The Blog” command an international readership. Clothier has served in numerous academic positions at well-known institutions such as the University of Iowa and the University of Southern California. With a developing interest in the art world in Southern California, he became Dean at Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County, and was appointed Acting Director in 1977. He remained at Otis until 1979, when he received a Rockefeller Fellowship, and was subsequently appointed Dean of the College of Fine & Communication Arts at Loyola Marymount University in 1981. Clothier is currently a full-time freelance writer, consultant, and lecturer in the arts.
