5 - 7 pm
Hillyer Art Center
9 Hillyer Court NW, Washington DC 20008

MAS reception and salon, in partnership with IA&A@Hillyer, program for exhibition on view:
From Fabric to Paint Funk, Soul, and Art of Avis Robinson.  

Pulitzer prize winning journalist and MSNBC political analyst, Eugene Robinson, will be in conversation with Brian Dailey, artist and retired corporate executive, about the life and work of Avis Collins Robinson, Eugene‘s late wife and lifelong partner, whose work is on view in the Hillyer main gallery. 

Both Robinson and Dailey have serendipitous connections. Both are board members of FAPE, the exhibition sponsor. Both of their late wives were artists. Both have had fascinating careers that provide a unique lens on these times. The conversation promises to be illuminating and fun. 

Join us for a private MAS members reception at 5pm, preceding the salon talk, a public event, at 6pm. 

You are welcome to bring a guest, but please RSVP below to assist our planning.
