ID: Formations of Self: New Exhibit at Shirley Fiterman Art Center

By Lisa Panzera on November 13, 2020 1

In a moment when we are all relying on digital images and virtual connections, the need to experience art in a tangible way feels incredibly essential for many of us. We at the Shirley Fiterman Art Center are excited to safely “open” the exhibition ID: Formations of the Self, which can be experienced exclusively through the gallery windows.
