Dieu Donné Open House with Alejandra Arias Sevilla

Dieu Donné’s Open Houses are an opportunity to explore our professional papermaking studios, view artwork and didactics from our archive, engage with peers, and learn from inspiring talks. Each evening will include a tour of the Dieu Donné facilities and a talk from a featured artist or curator.

Our autumn Open House will feature Alejandra Arias Sevila, 2024 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellow. All Open Houses include an artist talk and a tour of the Dieu Donné gallery and studio. Alejandra's artistic practice is founded in printmaking, seeing it as a series of translations through loss, addition, and deformation. She often uses limitations as guidelines to expand on wonderment and investigation in her art and process. Enthralled by the relationship between translation and shadow, her recent works in paper explore the semiotics of wrought iron guards, text, and the color blue.

Open Houses are ticketed due to limited space in our facility. Please reach out if you have any questions about accessibility or need to cancel your registration to Hannah Katz, Grants & Education Manager, at [email protected]. College students are eligible for free tickets by emailing Hannah at [email protected] at least 12 hours before the event from their student email address.
