Curatorial Tour & Closing: "What Happens to a Dream Deferred?"

Curated by Thu Anh Nguyen

Featured Artists: Holly Harris, Maske Maiden, and Linda Obobaifo

Join us for a special Curatorial Tour & Closing Reception for What Happens to a Dream Deferred? America at Its 250th. Explore the inspirations and ideas behind the curation of this thought-provoking and timely exhibition as the curator shares insights into its creation and impact.

After the Curatorial Tour, we invite you to join the Curators and Featured Artists of both exhibitions for our Closing Reception to engage in conversation, ask questions, and experience the work from a fresh and personal perspective before closing.

What Happens to a Dream Deferred? America at its 250th questions whether the American dream could ever be just a singular dream. This exhibit turns the noun “dream” into the verb “dreaming,” and asks us to move into the next years of this nation, collectively dreaming of America. Holly Harris, Linda Obobaifo, and Maske Maiden use painting, printmaking, sculptural, and collaged painting, and mask-making to offer us three unique lenses to see the American dreams that we still hold on to, the ones we might release, and the ones still waiting for us.
