Join us for an afternoon of cocktails and casual conversation with Baltimore artists Ed Istwan and Curator Kristen Hileman. Ed and Kristen will discuss the exhibit FLOWERS. FLOWERS is a show of visual art comprised of a deceptively simple exploration of color and form, gesture and scale across several different media. This show features over 300 individual works that create an environment when placed together. Istwan highlights the quiet nuance between “similar” and “the same,” and “related” but also “different”. Istwan’s colorful abstract work was inspired by the architecture of The Peale’s landmark Latrobe Room, where it is on view. This cocktails and conversation event will provide insight so visitors can hear an intimate inside perspective, and have an informative glimpse into Ed’s particularlydriven creative process. This is a free event. All are welcome (non-alcoholic beverages will be available for those under 21).
