Please Join us for a Visit to Lily Press with Artist Keiko Hara, Tuesday, October 20, 1:00 pm
Please join us for a visit to printmaker Susan Goldman’s Rockville, MD-based Lily Press for a special opportunity to engage with artist Keiko Hara.
Keiko is a prominent and widely respected artist and educator whose art has been presented in more than 50 solo exhibitions across the United States and in group exhibitions throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Her pieces are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and other major institutions. She has also had a long career as an educator, teaching at Whitman College for 21 years and serving as Chair of the Art Department.
During her residency, Keiko will work with Susan to produce a variable edition of Mokuhanga woodcut prints, exploring the rich possibilities of this traditional Japanese printmaking technique. She is known for bringing Eastern and Western printmaking traditions together, resulting in innovative hybrid pieces that expand the possibilities of the medium. This marks the third time Keiko has collaborated with Susan Goldman, making this residency a particularly meaningful continuation of their artistic relationship.
Keiko’s residency is being sponsored by the Printmaking Legacy Project®.
Registration for this event is limited to 20 WPC members and their guests.
Please Join us for a Tour of What Remains? The Vietnam War and its Reckoning With Curator Cheryl Edwards Saturday, November 7, 12:00 pm
The Viet Nam war unfolded alongside profound social, political, and cultural upheavals within the United States. The 1960s witnessed transformative events, including the civil rights movement, the assassination of political leaders, and racial injustice. These developments culminated in large-scale demonstrations such as the 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, widely regarded as one of the largest anti-war protests in U.S. history.
Within this context, veteran artists were shaped not only by their military experiences but also by a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. The intersection of war, civil rights struggles, and countercultural movements created conditions in which questions of identity, justice, and belonging became inseparable from artistic production. The Vietnam veterans suffered not only from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also endured moral injury.
This exhibition brings together works by veteran artists whose practices emerge from the enduring afterlives of military service, examining memory, history, and the physical and psychological after-effects of war. In the context of the United States’ 250th anniversary, it reconsiders national narratives as contested and ongoing rather than resolved.
You can learn more about the exhibition (including a content advisory) here.
Registration for this event is limited to 20 WPC members and their guests. Please click on the blue “button” below to RSVP. This will ensure that your RSVP goes to the correct person. Please RSVP by October 30.
