EXPOSING SCARLET:
A VISUAL RESPONSE TO THE SCARLET LETTER
SEPTEMBER 10 – OCTOBER 31

Organized by Ed Burnam, Cynthia Atwood, and Lucinda Bliss

Inspired by the Bicentennial celebration of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s life and work, fourteen artists have been invited to explore the conceptual and visual evocations of Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter. Working in a range of media spanning from installation to painting, these artists will inquire into whether, and how, the issues raised in the novel are relevant in today’s society.

Join us for the Opening Reception on September 10, 6pm – 8pm, free.
