Art exhibit, speaking dates
The Leon Family Gallery in Virginia Beach is putting up 25 giclĂ©e prints from “Good Trouble” and five original watercolors, with an opening and gallery talk on Monday Nov 4 at 6 pm.
It’s my first ever exhibit, and I’m overcome with excitement (and terror) at the prospect of seeing pictures scrawled in my journal blown up, framed and available for sale - all proceeds go to the Center for Popular Democracy and the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater. I’m happy to have these images seen outside a book, and doubly excited to unveil five new (full size, full color, actual AHHT) pieces based on interviews and research into racial justice in Virginia (landing site of the first slave ship, home to activists who protested school and bus segregation years before Rosa Parks or Little Rock).
If you’re anywhere near VA (or have VA friends or relatives into art or, you know, justice), come on out!
Or check out my Instagram: @noxonpics, where I post stuff all the time.
I’m also speaking at the Virginia Wesleyan University on Tuesday Nov 5 at 11 am, Agape Church at 10 am on Sunday Nov 3. Details below:
