Join us for the opening reception for our newest exhibit: “Artists in the Archives: Community, History & Collage”. This event is free and open to the public. Guest curator, Ric Kasini Kadour, will be present at the opening reception.

Local history museums and archives are vital to building healthy communities and to anchoring our understanding of the world around us. Collage artists have unique skills that are particularly useful in our historical moment. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Sheldon Stewart-Swift Research Center, an international network of collage artists was invited to engage the Sheldon archival collections. Under the curatorial direction of Kolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour, and with the support of the Research Center staff, twenty-three artists from seven countries created collage prints that reflect upon the idea of community in the 21st-century world.

Music at the reception by Judd Markowski, accordion.

This event is sponsored by Table 21.
