Sally Mann in Conversation with Ted Orland

Presented by City Arts & Lectures on February 11, 2026, this public conversation brought together Sally Mann and photographer and writer Ted Orland in celebration of Mann’s recent book, Art Work: On the Creative Life, published by Abrams. The discussion centered on the book’s reflections on artistic practice, drawing from personal anecdotes, practical insights, and archival materials—including photographs, journal entries, and letters—to consider the realities of sustaining a creative life. The program is part of City Arts & Lectures’ annual series of talks and will be broadcast nationally, with KQED airing the conversation in March 2026.
