Exhibition Opening for Drawings from Jail

2018

Oct 5

Join New City Arts on October 5, 2018 from 5:00-7:30PM for an opening reception for Drawings from Jail, an exhibition of pen drawings by Michael Doyle. This series of illustrations was drawn over the course of a year the artist spent in jail and explores themes ranging from isolation to redemption.

This opening is part of Charlottesville’s First Friday Art Walk. The event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
