A First Look at Stephen Towns: Declaration and Resistance
(Reynolda House Museum of American Art presentation)

Towns’ work is based on actual individuals who toiled under the most extreme hardships yet persevered through acts of rebellion, skillful guile and self-willed determination; through “declaration and resistance.” Attendees are encouraged to check out a Reynolda museum library pass later in the month to see the art in person. This program is in recognition of the Forsyth County Public Library’s celebration of Black History Month and this year’s theme, “Black Resistance.” Registration is encouraged.
