Kicking off Thursday Oct. 20 with a reception from 6 until 9 p.m. featuring a don’t-miss-it performance by singer/guitarist Canyon, a book reading by Nikkya Hargrove, and a movement performance from Ariel Kleinberg, according to a news release. The exhibit will run until Thursday Dec. 8.
“I wanted to showcase people who are parents who are working in this field who have embraced parenthood and it is their form of empowerment,” King said. “I felt that these two artists (Bilak and Glantzman) were empowered by parenthood, by their work, by the generational complexities.”
