From the studio to the streets: art, place and community. An artist talk by Glenna Jennings

Thursday, June 11th at 6:30pm
Join the DSA for an artist talk by Glenna Jennings. Glenna will share her photo-based work and discuss how it has morphed and evolved over the years to accommodate a more socially-engaged practice. She will address how place and community have informed her work, and offer ways that local artists can collaborate with food justice through Gem City Market and Desert Kitchen Collective.
