Humor and history were key components that informed the late James E. Newton’s artistic process. In the exhibition The Artistic Legacy of James E. Newton: Heritage and Character Portraits, get a closer look at the drawings, collages and prints of the celebrated artist, public intellectual and University of Delaware professor of African American history, and discover the many faces he used to explore character and personality.
During this daytime program, join graduate student Carolyn Hauk, who co-curated the exhibition, to learn more about works on view.
Toward the end of the program, attendees will be invited to embrace their inner artist and sketch what inspires them as we launch a series of monthly drop-in events designed to support and encourage communal sketching. Supplies will be provided.
Registration is requested.
