This is the last weekend to view You. Are. Beautiful., a selection of 30 photographs by Thi Linh Wernau. The show is presented by The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck and runs through Veterans Day, November 11.
The work celebrates the human spirit and beauty in all people. The artist especially honors veterans because she believes what they do is one of the ultimate tests of the human spirit. On Friday, November 8 from 7 – 9 PM, you are invited to attend a special event at the gallery to honor veterans. The event will include an artist talk, short film and Veterans Voices, where veterans and friends of veterans will share art and stories. Speakers include two Gloucester residents and Korean War veterans, A. Austin Dorr and Bradley Smith, founder of the Patron’s Museum. Johnathan Lamirande of New Hampshire, will speak about his good friend and Marine, LCpl Michael Geary, who sacrificed his life in Afghanistan. Finally, a wounded warrior and amputee, Retired E-5 Sergeant U.S. Army, Andy Kingsley of Gardner, MA, will speak about his experience and never giving up.
The event is free and light refreshments will be served. The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck is located at 6 Wonson Street in Gloucester. You. Are. Beautiful. runs through Veterans Day, November 11. Gallery hours are 12 – 4 pm. Visit www.rockyneckartcolony.org or www.facebook.com/ThiLinhPhotography for more information.
