Galloway, N.J. – The annual Al Gold Memorial Lecture Series is set to continue on Wednesday, March 5, in the Campus Center Theatre.

This year’s speaker, Ron Tarver, is an American artist and associate professor of Art (specializing in photography) at Swarthmore College. Tarver will present “Ron Tarver: Forty Years an Idea” with opening remarks from Distinguished Professor of Art Wendel A. White and an introduction by Vicki Gold-Levi, picture editor, author and daughter of Al Gold.

The lecture will begin at 2:30 p.m. and is followed by a reception.

Al Gold was Atlantic City’s first chief photographer. During his tenure, he photographed many of the city’s most iconic moments in history, including the Miss America pageants and numerous celebrities taking a stroll on the Boardwalk. He held this position from 1939 until he passed away in 1964. To keep his memory alive, Gold-Levi and White created the Al Gold Memorial Lecture Series, which brings a distinguished speaker (typically within arts and culture) to campus every year.
