Our Orlando Opening Reception
August 24, 2018 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
free
The Mennello Museum of American Art is pleased to present “Our Orlando: Making Sense of our World” and “American Youth: Our Future.” Both exhibitions will be on view at the Mennello Museum from August 24 through October 7.
Our Orlando: Making Sense of our World will feature the work of four rising local artists: Sarah M Bender, Peterson Guerrier, Boy Kong., and Kelly Joy Ladd. These four artists conceptualize a multitude of relationships within our shared world – ranging from the personal and familiar to the mysterious and universal. In this exhibition, human experience is depicted, varied as it is in its accounts, through figuration and form, in two and three dimensions. The voices and visions of the artists presented here can be seen in a consideration of how we, as humans, relate to one another and our time on earth by reflecting upon their representations of individuality and imagination.
City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, the Friends of the Mennello Museum of American Art, the Mennello Museum Board of Trustees together with Executive Director, Shannon Fitzgerald, invite you to the opening reception.
