About Our Speakers
Nick Flynn’s most recent book is Low (Graywolf, 2023). His book Stay (Ze Books, 2000) chronicles his work with other artists (filmmakers, visual artists, musicians, etc) over the past twenty-five years. His bestselling memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (Norton, 2004) was made into a film starring Robert DeNiro (Focus Features, 2012) and has been translated into fifteen languages.
Joseph Diggs was born to a military family in Croix Chapeau, France and grew up on Cape Cod where he now lives and paints. Diggs’ work is housed in many private collections on the Cape, nationally, and internationally. Diggs earned his BFA at Southeastern Massachusetts University then returned, after years of travel and work experience, to earn his MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design Program at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. He is currently represented by the Berta Walker Gallery of Provincetown.
Megan Foster earned her BFA from RISD and MFA from Columbia University. Her work has been shown at venues including Black and White Gallery, Mixed Greens, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, Inside-Out Art Museum (Beijing), and the San Jose Museum of Art.
Foster’s prints and installations elevate everyday moments into open-ended narratives that examine the expectations of contemporary life and shifting connections to nature and technology. Drawing from imagery in art, architecture, and science, she repositions the ordinary as a site of reflection and spectacle.
She is an associate professor and department head of Printmaking at RISD, past master printer at the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, and co-founder of Moonlight Editions.
