The Norwalk Art Space is proud to announce its next exhibition, “American Iconography” with Korry Fellow Tara Blackwell and invited artist Cal Bocicault. Daily life is filled with repetitive images and public figures that symbolize our time, place, and shared collective history. These images are sometimes remembered fondly through our childhood lenses, while others may have altered our perceptions of the neighbor next door. This exhibition explores the power of imagery as a vessel to create change in our collective futures. Here we have two distinctly different artists that use iconic American imagery to reference and push the boundaries of feminism, social justice, and African American identity.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18TH
12 - 2 PM
Join us for a Panel of Art Professionals at TNAS! Forging a career in the arts is never a simple, straightforward, nor easy endeavor, but there is simply nothing more rewarding for those of us called to the arts. We want to open up space for high school and college-aged art students to learn more about what it takes to build a career in the arts at this panel, where students' questions will drive the discussion with artists at TNAS. All questions and curiosities welcome! Six mid- to late-career artists form our panel on December 18th. These Korry Fellows are working at The Norwalk Art Space for the 2021-2022 year as mentors for earlier-career artists as well as local high school students.
Pizza and gift cards will be provided by the Melissa Wilkinson Foundation.
