Artist, Sarah Elworthy and Author, Kara Beste
 2nd Floor Gallery
October 1 - November 22

Book launch with Sarah and Kara on Saturday, Oct. 3, 3:30 - 5:00 pm

An exhibit of original batiks created by Sarah Elworthy and text by Kara Beste  from their book  What Leads Her,  
highlighting 23 women who lead in a multitude of ways. The women are from different cultures, races, religions,
socioeconomic backgrounds, professions, and lead through their passions and talents. The word LEAD should
not have to fit into a specific box. This book empowers girls 8 and up to find what leads and inspires them to
change the world. There are so many ways to lead, go ahead, be inspired, and find out what leads you! 
This book was brought to life through the traditional Indonesian art form of batik. 
​It is a skill that has been passed down from grandmothers to mothers to daughters.

​ART AS SOCIAL COMMENTARY

---

Exit, Richard Weis

Artworks seen as social commentary are sparked by incidents and disruptions in our world that weigh on our souls, wake us in the middle of the night, and demand to be addressed. They are symptoms of broader questions about what it is to be human. As an artist, I sometimes find I cannot move forward in my day unless I put brush to canvas and deal with some of the darker side.  Richard D. Weis,  July 2020
