If you’ve ever been interested in film production, music composition, graphic design or simply artistic expression as a career, go to St. Andrew’s Center For the Performing arts next weekend. Nathan Johnson, composer of the scores for the films “Brick” and “The Brothers Bloom,” designer of the cover art for The Fray’s “How to Save A Life” and a producer, will offer a series of lectures to inform and inspire. Johnson will cover topics as basic as translating your art into a job to structuring the creative work and using technology to advance artistic work. Using clips of his films, music and art, Johnson will teach three lectures, followed by an extended Q&A session. If you’re interested in gaining insight into the artistic market, go and rack his brain.
