‘Stories Shared’ exhibition – opening night!
What a wonderful opening! Arts @ Large did a fantastic job and the work looked beautiful! Standing in the gallery looking around at the mixture of artwork from Caldecott-winning artist Faith Ringgold, next to artwork for my next picture book created with help from students in Milwaukee, and listening to the amazing talents of Skai Academy’s young group of singers and musicians, I started to tear up a little. I was so moved by how all these amazing people connect, create, and work towards a better community and world. Special thanks to Kim Abler, Teri Sullivan, Linda D’Acquisto, Ryan Hurley, Sean Kiebzak, and Brianna Dorney for their creative energies and their ability to make beautiful things happen in Milwaukee. I feel very grateful that I get to be a part of this show!
Oh, and I can’t wait to meet Faith Ringgold on May 15th!
