(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice will present the unveiling of Ryan Stark Lilienthal's artistic exploration of the Mueller Report on Sunday, January 19 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
“It's an opportunity to meet the artist and learn of his pursuit of truth in exposing the dangers to democracy when communication is weaponized through misinformation and obstruction,” says Robt Seda-Schreiber, Chief Activist of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice. “We are honored to show Ryan's inspirational series in our dedicated drive to present to the public thought-provoking and significant artworks which allow for open and honest conversation, and collaborative exploration of difficult issues.”
“As our country careens from one constitutional crisis to another, I turn more and more to my training as an attorney to find the right visual vocabulary to artistically respond to our times,” explains Ryan Lilienthal. “Documents give shape to both the form and substance of my recent artwork, particularly The Mueller Report and its underlying investigation, the core of which, as Robert Mueller succinctly stated, deserves the attention of every American.”
This event is a fundraiser to help the Center continue presenting important and challenging art both in-house and to the greater community. Attendees are encouraged to aid in this mission by making a meaningful donation.
Ryan Stark Lilienthal studied drawing, painting and sculpture at the Boston Museum School in Massachusetts while attending Tufts University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Religion. During that period, Lilienthal apprenticed Siri Berg, one of America's foremost Abstract artists, whose paintings are part of the permanent collection at the Guggenheim and other museums.
The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, located at 21 Wiggins Street in Princeton, New Jersey, is a community activist center, educational enclave and safe-space for our LGBTQIA kids, our intersectional families and all of our beautifully diverse communities.
