Location: 115 Lawrence Hall

Welcome to this House is Hammer’s poetic documentary feature on the homes and lives of poet Elizabeth Bishop, about life in the shadows, and the anxiety of art making without full self-disclosure. An acclaimed pioneer of queer cinema, Barbara Hammer has produced more than 75 works, including early lesbian avant-garde films that remain of fundamental importance for a new generation of artists. Most recently, she was honored with retrospectives at MoMA (New York, 2010) and the Tate Modern (London, 2012).

A members-only tour of From the Heart: The Photographs of Brian Lanker led by Lynda Lanker and Lynne Lamb. Not a member? Join today!

Relax in a low-stress environment as you create artwork that evokes memories. We will provide photos and line art images of these photos that you will color with professional Copic Japanese brush markers.  In addition we will talk about how to transform a personal photo to an outline image for coloring. This workshop is sponsored by Copic Markers and is designed for individuals who are experiencing memory loss, young-onset or early to mid-stage dementia and their care partners. No previous art experience required. Free, but reservations are requested.
