The Alchemy of Art: Ann P Lehman Opening Reception & Panel Discussion

Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) is hosting an opening reception for a commemorative exhibition celebrating the work of artist, teacher, mentor, and founding member Ann Lehman. Occupying both levels of the Susan B. Hilles Gallery, the exhibition will feature objects from Lehman’s sixty-year career including sculptures, paper sketches, photographs, and small models that served as studies for later artistic creations.

From 4:00-5:00 pm, there will be a panel discussion on Lehman’s impact on the New Haven’s artistic community moderated by Frank Mitchell, local historian and curator.  Bitsie Clark, former head of the Arts Council, Susan Smith, former CAW executive director, Ted Salmon, sculptor and former Lehman student, Kim Weston, photographer, artist and teacher, and Peter Lehman, son of Ann Lehman will all participate in the discussion.
