Wednesday: Artists’ Panel At Tabla Rasa

From a press release sent by Sunset Park’s Tabla Rasa Gallery:

On Wednesday, July 21, starting at 6:30 pm, there will be an artists’ talk and panel discussion led by master printers Sheila Goloborotko and Agnes Murray on the subject of connoisseurship in printmaking and the history of creating the portfolio featured in the “Goloborotko’s Studio 20th Anniversary Edition” portfolio. Artists who created work for the project, Audrey Frank Anastasi, Ramona Candy, Mary Chang, Tami Gold, Robert Golden, Kathleen Hayek, Pearl Rosen, GG Stankiewicz, and Harold Wortsman will share their behind-the-scenes insights and participate in the question & answer session.

This is part of the “Rock Paper Scissors” exhibition at the Tabla Rasa Gallery that runs until August 14. I stopped off at the exhibition’s opening night on my way home from work. It was totally worth the trip. I have no idea what to expect from this panel, but if you haven’t seen the exhibition yet, this might be a good opportunity to go.

The gallery is at 224 48th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (closer to 2nd, on the south side of the street). R-train to 45th Street.
