"It's fun to do art. It's also exquisite agony."

– Sidney ("Sid") Larson (1923-2009)

In 2003, the Columbia College Public Relations Department filmed an interview with Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Art Sid Larson, who passed away May 21, 2009.

The video shows Larson at his reflective, expansive best, speaking eloquently about art, his love for Columbia College and the joy of watching students blossom into artists in their own right.

Watch the video below.

A memorial service will be held in Launer Auditorium on the Columbia College campus Saturday, June 20 at 10:30 a.m. A reception will follow in the Banquet Room of Dulany Hall.
