Open Door Gallery, Higgins Education Wing
Join us in the Open Door Gallery for the opening reception of The (Dis)Comfort of Home, a solo exhibition by Moriah Faith. At 5:15 pm, Faith will give an artist talk about her ideas and process.
Moriah Faith is a figurative painter from Black Forest, CO, currently working and teaching in Boston. She was inspired to paint after being diagnosed with a painful and incurable chronic illness at the age of 12. She articulates the complexity and depth of these experiences through striking self-portraits that have garnered international acclaim. Outside the studio, Faith is an advocate and art facilitator for people with disabilities.
The Open Door Gallery at the Worcester Art Museum (ODG@WAM) is a gallery space for artists with disabilities, created in partnership with Open Door Arts, an affiliate of the Seven Hills Foundation. Admission to the Open Door Gallery is always free.
