Art and Sustainablity, Next Artisans’ section meeting, April 14

Richard Reilly’s thoughts and actions as a builder blend into everyday engagement with art and sustainability. He started keeping journals as a teenager. He says “If I put them all end to end, it’s about 17 feet long.” Richard will discuss the evolution of his journals, photography and collage art at the next Artisans’ section meeting at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, Thursday, April 14, 7pm.

Currently the Director of Operations at Trumpet LLC, Richard Reilly has spent 30 years in the high-end residential construction sector; rising from carpenter to operations director. He has been a LEED AP since 07. He is a specialist in low cost sustainable housing. Richard was a St. Louis Business Journal Heroes of the Planet Finalist in 2008 & winner of a St. Louis USGBC Growing Green Award in 2009. He is a sought-after speaker on environmentally responsible construction. He volunteers his talents with Habitat for Humanity, and has donated time to help design a building for trade-school students in Tanzania. He is the chair of the Architecture section of the St. Louis Artists’ Guild. Richard posts his photos and commentary about art and building on his blog The Art of Construction.
