About This Event
Enjoy an evening of art and community featuring a new exhibition by artist Nari Ward. This event is free and open to the community from 8-9.
Nari Ward is internationally renowned for his compelling sculptural works and installations that transform found objects into profound statements on memory, identity, and societal issues. For his Project Atrium exhibition, Ward has proposed an installation using emergency blankets as his material, creating a space with a celebratory tone that simultaneously carries a sense of anxiety or crisis—echoing the precarious balance between resilience and vulnerability, festivity and fragility.
