Join us on Monday June 29th for an online art talk exploring how contemporary artists bring people together by representing aspects of their own identities, led by Art Historian and Art Tour Guide, Lauren A Kaplan.
Register in advance here
During these past few months of physical distancing, we have all become acutely aware of the importance of interpersonal connection and community. During this art talk, we will look at the way that contemporary artists, particularly women and artists of color, have represented themselves and their communities in ways that expose their own humanity and vulnerability, thus bringing people together in powerful ways.
You will learn more about the work of some of the most influential female and minority artists in the contemporary art world, such as Alice Neel, Carrie Mae Weems, Carmen Winant, and Jordan Casteel, among others.
As with all of our virtual connection sessions, the event is gender inclusive and there will also be time to connect with the community and get to know the fellow attendees. All registrants will receive the zoom call-in info on their receipt and a recording will be made available afterwards.
Don't miss this chance to expand your knowledge of the contemporary art world and connect with fellow art-lovers!
$28/person if purchased by 6/22 at midnight; $32 thereafter
