Michael Ray Charles Reception and Q&A

Wooden crutches combined into a spoke pattern

Join Landmarks to celebrate the opening of Michael Ray Charles' new work, (Forever Free) Ideas, Languages and Conversations. Suspended in the atrium of the Gordon-White Building, the sculpture features hundreds of crutches assembled into interconnected forms. A Q&A with the artist will be followed by a reception with music, food and drinks.
