The Larchmont Public Library presents “Drawing Until Dawn: Conjuring Images for Social Change”, an exhibit of artworks by K. Wendy Popp in the Library’s Oresman Gallery from April 2, through April 30.
There will be an artist’s reception celebrating Ms. Popp’s exhibit on Saturday, April 2, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The reception is also free and everyone is welcome. Ms. Popp will also be signing copies of her latest books, which will be available for sale at the event by local bookshops, The Voracious Reader and Andersons Bookshop.
Also on Saturday, April 2, immediately preceding the artist reception at 1:30 p.m., Ms. Popp will present a 40-minute “gallery talk” on the topic of “Art and Advocacy”. Themes of moral conflict, resistance and spiritual resilience and how illustrative art can elicit tangible change will be explored. Ms. Popp will use the art featured in her exhibit to discuss how the many consciousness raising efforts, collaborations and exhibitions of which she has been a part have effected specific change for struggling communities. She will also touch on how her exhibit can engage communities and students to creatively participate and contribute to positive social change. The gallery talk is also free and open to all.
