Millard Sheets Studio, murals in the Scottish Rite Center, San Francisco, completed c.1965
Hi everyone! My first semester teaching at Manhattan College is winding down, and so I finally have a chance to update things here.
I have a full draft completed for my book on the art and architecture of the Millard Sheets Studio, and I have conversations ongoing with publishers and museums (though your leads welcomed!), as I edit and I plan an exhibition. I am also connected to new archives, and I am helping with preservation for Sheets Studio artwork from Los Angeles to Texas and beyond. Hopefully I will have a chance to write more about it here soon.
I am pleased to announce I will start 2016 with an event January 14 at the Scottish Rite Center in San Francisco with Millard’s son, the artist Tony Sheets; mosaicist and scholar Lillian Sizemore; storyteller Jim Cogan, and more. “CREATIVE COLLABORATION – Honoring Millard Sheets: Master of Art & Design” will be a great day, organized by Peter Mullens, the Tile Heritage Foundation, and the Stone Foundation, among others. Learn more here and join us!

Congrats on the first draft Adam. great vintage photography!
Yeay! I hope I can make this event. Your talk on Millard Sheets at the Santa Monica Library was very informative and I would love to hear more.
Also, if you are looking for Sheets architectural renderings for museum shows to compliment your book release then keep Alan Wofsy Fine Arts of San Francisco in mind. They have a large number of his architectural renderings and they have been very helpful during my long, slow thesis process.
