Tina Barry's The Virginia Project now on display!
Tina Barry (MFA, 2014) wrote and curated The Virginia Project, an exhibit that includes 15 pieces of my writing interpreted by 14 women artists. The exhibit opens at LIU Brooklyn’s the Humanities Gallery on the ground floor of the Humanities building, on Thursday 1/31 from 5-7 pm. The opening is free to the public, and the show will run from 1/22 to 2/22/19. Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit is based on Virginia Haggard, the artist Marc Chagall’s lover and partner of seven years, and her daughter Jean McNeil, two artists who are mostly forgotten in the history of Chagall.
