Event Details

Join us for the opening celebration of “Alison Elizabeth Taylor: The Sum of It.” This exhibition, the most comprehensive gathering of Alison Elizabeth Taylor’s work to date, assembles dozens of works that chronicle her steady mastery of the now nearly forgotten technique of marquetry (wood inlay) and reveal her talent as an extraordinary storyteller of 21st-century American life and culture.

View the exhibition and enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments by Tangerine at the Art Center.

Registration not required.
