OPENING RECEPTION: JANUARY 27

McColl Center for Visual Art invites the public to attend an opening reception for Converge on January 27 from 6 to 9 PM. Converge features renowned artists Quisqueya Henriquez and Sonya Clark and the pieces they created while in residence as Knight Artists-in-Residence. Exploring themes of identity and inclusion, the work represents a convergence of art, history and diverse cultures.

Converge will be on display in the Center's main gallery with both artists present during the reception and the Converge Conversation.

This exhibition is made possible with a generous grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation.
