On Friday, October 30, 2015, CALL artist Arlan Huang sat down with artist and Legacy Specialist Beth Krebs and Robin Clark, VoCA Board Member and Director of the Artist Initiative at SFMOMA at the Joan Mitchell Foundation Education & Research Center to discuss his practice and the experience of documenting his life’s work. This event was one of a series of four that VoCA hosted this winter in partnership with the Joan Mitchell Foundation‘s Creating a Living Legacy (CALL) Program highlighting the innovative CALL initiative while also underscoring the crucial need for dialogue with artists around the production, presentation, and preservation of their work.

Huang has designed public works of art for the National Endowment for the Arts and has created permanent glass sculptures for New York City's Percent for Art program and the Dormitory Authority of the state of New York.
Beth Krebs is an artist who has exhibited her work in galleries and alternative spaces in New York and abroad, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Mixed Greens, Smack Mellon, the Bronx Museum of Art, Station Independent Projects, the Cue Foundation, Real Artways, and the Elizabeth Foundation Project Space.
