November

Mask Play – A collaborative exhibit between visual artists Andrew Elijah Edwards and Jose Rodriguez Jr
Friday October 25 Opening (5:30-8pm)
Saturdays, October 26 & November 2 (10am- 2pm)
In their second collaboration at Merrymeeting Arts Center, Andrew and Jose continue exploring themes that delve into the intricacies of the human condition by exposing the existential realities we confront in our lives - internally and as a community. With 'Mask Play,' a re-imagining of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Nightingale, Andrew and Jose create a visual landscape that leans into their sculptural and digital practices to tell a new story that is both reflective and timely.
