About this Event

In Ravens: Spirits of the Sky, Joan Danziger’s sculpture occupies the museum with commanding intensity. Their exaggerated forms, iridescent surfaces, and suspended gestures place them somewhere between realism and abstraction, between sculpture and symbol. These are not the clever birds of natural history, but augurs, tricksters, familiars.

Come for a tour of the remarkable show led by the artist, a Washington Sculptors Group member.

Plan your trip info here. Note that the Katzen Center no longer offers free parking on weekends.
