Join Garrison Art Center for a powerful afternoon of art, film, and community in support of our mission to make art accessible to all.

​

We are excited to announce a special screening of “Paint Me a Road Out of Here”, an award-winning documentary featuring artists Faith Ringgold and Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter. This film uncovers the overlooked history of Faith's masterpiece, "For the Women's House," and follows its 50-year journey from Rikers Island to the Brooklyn Museum. It presents a poignant, humorous, and true narrative that advocates for a world without mass incarceration.

After the screening, join us for an engaging Q&A with the film’s producer, Emmy Award winner and GAC alumni Arielle Amsalem, who will share insights into the documentary's creation and the ongoing work it inspires.

​

Then, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, join us just across the way at Garrison Art Center for a festive reception in our galleries. Enjoy refreshments, an art exhibition, and a chance to connect with fellow supporters of the arts.  Two new painting exhibitions: landscapes by Thomas Sarrantonio and portraits by Elizabeth DeBethune will be on display. 

​

Tickets: $50
All proceeds directly support Garrison Art Center’s exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives.
