Artist-in-Residence Talk: Lori Larusso

Join us for an artist talk and conversation with our April Artist-in-Residence Lori Larusso.  Her body of work encompasses paintings and installations that explore issues of class, gender, and anthropocentrism, and how these practices both reflect and shape culture. Larusso will share her past work and how her residency in Newport has impacted her work.

Free, RSVP recommended.
