"La Distancia / The Distance": an artist talk by Edra Soto

Spend your lunch hour with internationally recognized Chicago-based artist Edra Soto as she shares insights into her recent public works in major U.S. cities, including her first major Midwest commission outside of Chicago — , a permanent installation – unveiled September 18 in front of the MetroHealth Glick Center in Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood.
