Opening Reception March 6, 5:00-7:00 PM.

Rooted in the two current exhibitions, artist Finnegan Shannon will give a talk about where fantasy lives in their practice. They'll touch on sensory pleasures, the luxury of options, and the ways that Phyllis Birkby's notion of the "messiness of life" makes fantasies richer and more potent. Public reception to follow at Smith College Museum of Art. Full details at SCMA.smith.edu.
