The Steven Harvey “mini” Symposia, co-led with Kyle Staver and Michael David, culminated in a dynamic pop-up exhibition and offered an unforgettable experience for painters and art lovers alike. First joining the Yellow Chair as a guest critic, Steven brought a truly spirited presence—an energy that sparked rich, animated conversations between the three, whose combined century of experience in looking at and loving painting created a unique and inspiring environment. Each session closed with Steven reflecting on an artist he has exhibited, weaving personal stories and art history into intimate, thoughtful discussions. This fusion of storytelling, critique, and deep passion for painting made for an exhilarating format—a true hot house for personal and artistic growth.
