Exhibition Opening and Artist Talk: Accompanied
4:00pm
Location: 
Online—Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard
The artists Marilyn Pappas and Jill Slosburg-Ackerman met at Radcliffe’s Bunting Institute in the 1980s. Decades later, their sustained friendship has led them to work in adjoining studios and teach generations of artists.

Pappas and Slosburg-Ackerman will be joined in conversation by author Maggie Doherty.
