BEHIND THE CANVAS | ARTIST TALK + Q&A
Come hear Black Is Bloom from the woman who created it. Lateefah Ruff Taylor opens up about the stories, memories, choices, and life experiences behind the work, including what changed her, what challenged her, and what kept her creating.
This is more than an artist talk. It is a chance to sit in the room, hear the truth behind the work, and ask the questions you have always wanted to ask.
RSVP Nov 11th
IN THE MAKING | LIVE PAINTING
Step inside the part of the process most people never get to see. Watch Lateefah Ruff Taylor work in real time as a piece continues to develop through color, texture, layering, instinct, and change.
See the decisions happen as they happen. Ask questions. Watch the work become what it was meant to be.
You’ve seen the finished pieces. Now come see the making.
