Our private tour of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts last week was thoroughly enjoyable and informative. We saw the show ‘Aoko-born away from home’ at the EFA Project Space and peaked into the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Shop, seeing some printmaking in action. We later had the pleasure of visiting four artists in the studio program: Amy Hill, Cui Fei, Youngjae Kim, and Liselot Van Der Heijden.
Thank you to Executive Director George Scheer and Program Director Alexandra Unthank for showing us around, and to the artists for welcoming us into their studios.
