SHRINE Artist Talks and Mingle Hour

Join Mattress Factory members for a fast-paced, art-filled evening of artist talks with artists and collaborators from the Museum’s most recent exhibition, SHRINE.

On Monday, November 7 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, attendees will meet with and hear from SHRINE artists Naomi Chambers, Mary Martin, LaKeisha Wolf, Alisha Wormsley, sarah huny young as well as Soul Culture collaborator Anjali Shah and exhibition curator Jessica Gaynelle Moss for artist and exhibition talks. During this time, attendees will be split into small groups and rotate every 15 minutes throughout the various galleries in the Monterey Annex, learning more from each artist or collaborator about the specific installations within the exhibition.

After the artist talks, members are invited to stay in the Monterey Annex from 8:00 to 9:00 PM for an artist and member mingle hour, enjoying a DJ set by sarah huny young within her very own installation space. Please note, food and drink will not be provided at this event, as all activities will take place within the Museum galleries.
