Art in the Hall

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2022 @ MORGANTON CITY HALL

Circularity at Play:
Mixed media artist, Desirae Lee, created a body of work focused on the concept of Black Joy and the Southern
Renaissance. Focusing on four Black poets who shaped American poetry and literature who were all born in the
Southern United States and returned at different points in their careers, this show asks, "Where do we belong?"

Figures in Motion:
Figures in Motion was a four week workshop for middle school students taught by René Gaete Mora and
sponsored by TOSS. Students built skills around a basic understanding of figure drawing and learned the power
of art making for the common good.
