Dallas Graham presents at SUU Art Insights
By Amanda DeBry
On Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. in the SUU auditorium, artist Dallas Graham will present on his artwork as part of SUU’s Art Insights. This event is free and open to the public.
“Dallas Graham’s Red Fred Project beautifully illustrates how graphic design can not only be used for the greater good but can change lives,” said Meri Page, assistant professor of graphic design at SUU. “Giving a vehicle and a voice to children who are living in extraordinary circumstances the books that are created through this collaboration become a lasting tribute to each child’s unique vision and perspective.”
Graham is a publisher and the executive director of the Red Fred Project, a nonprofit organization publishing books about children living with rare diseases and critical illnesses. Graham is a photojournalist, graphic designer, and writer and enjoys discovering creative ways of connecting people through their stories. He has produced a number of personal and community-driven projects and can’t seem to turn off his “idea” switch. The Red Fred Project is a culmination of four of his favorite things: stories, hope, children, and you.
“I’m excited to be returning to the quality halls and lawns and brains and student body of SUU,” said Graham. “My visit earlier this year was a wonderful exploration between disciplines, proving a creative relevance and interest among the students with the work I do.”
