Women of Rockland Events

I’m back with another update for you all!

Now I can say ‘you all’ because I am from Minnesota, which isn’t exactly the South, but close enough, right? I never thought I had an accent until I came to the East Coast, and now I get ridiculed for the stretching of my vowels and saying things like, “pop” and “ruff” instead of ‘roof.’ Anyhow, although the ponderings of accents and pronunciation are pretty interesting and could be mused over for a good while, I have come to share with you something more exciting on this fine spring morning!

When Lisa received the grant, The Journal News Newspaper wrote an article on the awarded groups, and featured her project and picture on the front cover. Quite the honor!

Now that you and I are more familiar with Lisa Levart and the unique work she has been creating, you should know where her work will be seen in the upcoming months. The Women of Rockland Exhibition will have an Opening Reception at the Nyack Center on Saturday, April 17^th from 10-12 noon for the Women of Leadership and Vision Brunch. Unfortunately, Lisa won’t be there because she will be in Malawi, Africa, where she will be photographing one of her Women of Rockland subjects; Anna Msowoya-Keys, at the opening of her new school, the Mzuzu Acaedmy. The show stays at the Nyack Center until April 28^th – this is a great chance to see the installation up close and personal.

From there, the show can be seen at The Rockland Country Day School from April 30 – May 21.

On June 1^st, comes to the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack where these extraordinary banners will be suspended between four floors in an open atrium (!!!!). The opening is from 6-7pm and everyone is welcome to stop by. The installation will be at the Palisades Mall through July 31^st.

Whether you’re pondering accents, irrigation systems, or politics today, I hope you enjoy your afternoon, and speaking for Lisa, we hope to see you in a couple weeks at one of the events!
