“A Tribute To Teaching Artist Barbara Slitkin” Exhibition
Manny Cantor Center/ Ernest Rubenstein Gallery
This event has ended.
Manny Cantor Center will highlight the service of our veteran teaching artist, Barbara Slitkin with her work titled “A House Cat’s Guide to the Galaxy”. This work is an adventurous collection of fantasy paintings, ceramics, and mixed media that playfully personifies earthly and celestial life as guided by a black and white cat. Through clay, collage, paint, and a lively stretch of imagination, Barbara embarks on a meditation celebrating the 21-year life of her now deceased family cat, Shayna, and the cat’s continued presence in the artist’s life as a soul transcending space and time.
