PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS
Thursday, Nov. 11
Kirby at War Screening | 2:00 pm
Since we’re opening on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11th, our first ticketed event at 2 pm will consist of showing our friends Marc Azema and Jean Depelley’s documentary Kirby at War. After his upbringing in NYC’s dog-eat-dog Lower East Side ghetto, Kirby’s harrowing experiences in Europe in World War II continued to inform his life and work. With great respect and humility, we’re honored to be able to acknowledge this time in his life, and how it affected his continuing use of the themes we’re presenting.
Opening reception | 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Our ticketed opening will feature an open discussion with curators Rand Hoppe and Tom Kraft. Light refreshments will be served.
Friday, Nov. 12 | 6:00 pm

Producer and art director Barry Geller and inker/letterer extraordinaire Mike Royer join us for a live streamed virtual event! Kirby’s Lord of Light works are some of his most inspired mythological visuals, and we’re thrilled to be able to talk about it with Barry and Mike.
