The Elverhoj Museum of History of Art kicked off its Artist Q-and-A Instagram series on Wednesday, June 3, and will continue the series with guest artist Isabella Kelly-Ramirez on Wednesday, June 17. The livestream will begin at 4 p.m.
Kelly-Ramirez is one of the 14 featured artists in the museum’s new virtual exhibition, The Art of Face Masks (online to view for free at artoffacemasks.com). The Central Coast-based artist will discuss her full line of face masks included in the group show and the symbolism behind the charms she chose to adorn her masks with. Kelly-Ramirez used cotton fabric, beads, and trinkets, among other materials, to complete her creations.
Other upcoming Q-and-A programs in the series include talks with more of the exhibit’s featured artists—RT Livingston on Wednesday, June 24, and Susan Owens on Wednesday, July 1.
