Sam Ash: People of the Eyes

May 3 – June 16, 2024

Public Reception: Friday, May 31 at 7 pm.

Accessible for the Deaf, Deafened, and Hard of Hearing.

“People of the eyes” is a phrase of identity and pride in the Deaf community. These words describe a group of people who take in information visually, and who do not hear nor speak. This exhibition borrows this phrase as its title because Woodland painter Sam Ash (1951-2021) was a Deaf artist, and these words speak so vividly to his work. The exhibition includes a new suite of his paintings on view for the first time.
