Exhibition viewing: 5pm

Artist Nevine Mahmoud turns to hard materials, including glass and stone, to evoke conversations with organic forms drawn from nature and the body. Join Mahmoud on a walk-through of her MATRIX exhibition and learn more about her approach to finding fluidity, playfulness, and seduction in rigid materials.

This event is free and open to a limited audience with required registration. To help ensure the safety of those in attendance, Mahmoud will lead visitors through the exhibition in two small groups, with the first group beginning at 6:00pm. Please enter at 29 Atheneum Square North. The Main Street entrance will not be open for this event.
