Join Sheldon Museum of Art for an opening day lecture by exhibition curator Jared Ledesma celebrating Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention, featuring a special welcome and poetry reading by JC Andrews. Drawing from his work organizing the exhibition, Ledesma will offer insight into Hartigan’s practice and the creative exchange between her work and the influential New York poets who shaped her artistic world, including Frank O’Hara, Barbara Guest, and James Schuyler while forging one of the most distinctive voices in postwar American art.
