Meet & Greet the Artist Reception: The World on Hold – Sketches from a Traveler in Waiting
When the COVID-19 pandemic prevented Joey Herring from pursuing his favorite hobby—traveling to experience new states, countries and cultures—he revisited his collection of personal travel photography. In an effort to relive the treasured memories of his past, Herring reimagined these photos as a series of digital illustrations. Each work features urban architecture from cities throughout Europe and the United States that celebrate the rich history and diversity of the built environment. Joey Herring is a curator and public art administrator. He works with national and international artists and arts organizations to curate exhibitions and public art projects. Currently, Herring is the Policy and Project Manager for The Strauss, a soon-to-open art museum at UC San Diego. With more than 15 years of professional experience, he has held positions at San Diego International Airport, Tate Modern, The San Diego Museum of Art, Museum of Photographic Arts, and the City of Peoria Arts & Culture.
