Saturday, August 15, 2026 - 2:00PM to 03:30PM Sheldon Museum of Art
Exhibition curator Jared Ledesma celebrates Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention, with a special welcome and poetry reading by JC Andrews. Drawing from his work organizing the exhibition, Ledesma will offer insight into Hartigan's practice and the creative exchange between her work and the influential New York poets who shaped her artistic world, including Frank O'Hara, Barbara Guest, and James Schuyler while forging one of the most distinctive voices in postwar American art.
