A Talk with artist Ruth Schreiber

February 10,

6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Artist Ruth Schreiber will discuss her current exhibit, Letters from my Grandparents, on view in our gallery through April 15. Her art work tells the remarkable story of the discovery of a box of letters written by her grandparents,between January 1939 and August 1942, to the three of their five children whom they had managed to send to England on the Kindertransport from Germany at the height of the Nazi persecution of the Jews.Schreiber will explore her artistic process in bringing four decades and two continents worth of loss, separation, survival and reunion to life.
