Annie Morhauser, one of the DMBA program's advisors and a trustee of CCA, will give a free lecture in UC Santa Cruz's Creativity + Innovation series:

Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 6:00pm
Media Theater, Theater Arts Center (UCSC)

Hear how Annie Morhouser took an art school idea and turned it into a multi-million dollar fine art glass empire (Annieglass) while maintaining the integrity of her craft. Learn how she made creativity and innovation the driving force of her artisan-run company in order to compete against multi-national corporations for the last 28 years. She tells the story of her success with disbelief, humor, and gratitude for a creative life.

This presentation is part of the series of free, public lectures in the Dean's Lecture Series entitled "Creativity and Innovation" (part of the course Art 80V: "Issues and Artists" taught by Associate Professor Lewis Watts). Arts Division Dean David Yager has selected nine speakers, all noted for their unique ability to bridge innovation and creativity within their professional career paths. The public is cordially invited. Admission is free. Parking $3.
