SUMMARY:Artist Reception with Maya Nadison
DESCRIPTION:ArtWorks: To Teach\, To Connect\, To Spark Change by Maya Nadison \n\n\n\nJoin us for the opening reception of ArtWorks: To Teach\, To Connect\, To Spark Change\, a new exhibition by Maya Nadison. Enjoy wine\, dessert\, and an evening of creativity as you meet the artist and explore a powerful collection of works that highlight art’s ability to educate\, connect\, and inspire transformation. \n\n\n\nThrough puppetry\, sculpture\, illustrations\, and graphic novels\, Nadison invites us to see how art can distill complex ideas\, foster empathy\, and spark meaningful dialogue.

It teaches\, it empowers\, and it sparks change. \n\n\n\nComplimentary admission | RSVP required
