Highlights for events on Thursday, November 20

Opening Reception at Artisphere for Kathryn Lynch Thibault: Target Ephemera
6:00pm - 8:00pm, Artist Talk 7:00pm
Free
Kathryn Thibault’s work asks the viewer to consider the relationship between their environment and their own “corporeality”. In doing so, her pieces rely heavily on the gallery’s walls as a tether to existence. All of the pieces are visually linked by imagery of body fragmentation, visual rhythm, and a purposefully restricted color palette. Read more here.
