Harcum College Hosts 9/11 Themed Art Exhibit

“Lest We Forget,” a 9/11 themed show featuring the work of Philly-based professional artist Joan Myerson Shrager, opens on Tuesday, September 9 in the Kevin D. Marlo Little Theatre on the Bryn Mawr Campus of Harcum College.

For Shrager, who has exhibited her work in hundreds of invitational and group exhibitions, 9/11 was the second major event in her lifetime that would “live in infamy.” She was watching “The Today Show” and saw the World Trade Center Towers burn and collapse. She later gave expression to her profound grief and pain through the creation of 9/11 themed pieces, which employ bold colors and reflect the intersection of art and technology.

Interestingly, the Kevin D. Marlo Little Theatre at Harcum College is dedicated to the memory of Kevin D. Marlo, the son of a former Chairman of the Harcum College Board of Trustees, who perished on September 11 in the World Trade Center bombings.

An Opening Reception will be held on September 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on display through Friday, September 19.
