Bruce Presents: Taking It to the Streets: A Conversation with Contemporary Street Artists

Taking It to the Streets will also spotlight Tatiana Mori, Executive Director of the Greenwich Arts Council, which named Epic Uno and Yedi Fresh, respectively, the first two members of its visionary Artists-in-Residence program. Greenwich-based artist-curator Ben Quesnel will co-moderate the Zoom event, along with Leonard Jacobs, producer of the Bruce Presents series. “Bruce Presents offers Taking It to the Streets at an inflection point in our nation’s history and discourse,” says Jacobs. “History teaches us that art and artists always lead the way toward confronting injustice and driving systemic change. There is perhaps no better example of this than street art—truly the art of the people. Our artists and speakers are not only engaging with Black Lives Matter and other social change agents, they are the vanguard of a world that must be—and will be—equitable for all.”

Participation in the virtual Bruce Presents on Zoom, for the benefit of the Bruce Museum, is $10 for Museum members, $15 non-members. To reserve a place, visit brucemuseum.org or call 203-869- 0376; a link to join the online conversation will be sent to registered attendees one hour prior to the program.
