The Mosesian Center for the Arts announced Forever Young: Picture Book Art Exhibition Artist Meet & Greet Series.
Today’s picture book artists are some of the world’s most innovative visual artists – pushing boundaries with their use of both traditional and digital techniques. This juried exhibition, on view now through September 15, 2017, celebrates a broad array of styles and mediums that will captivate audiences of all ages. The public is invited to a series of Artists Meet & Greets that kick off August 3rd with readings, Artist Q&A, Gallery Tours, and more!
