Join FWM Artist-in-Residence Jayson Musson at his alma mater for this special artist talk and reception. Musson, a 2011 Penn MFA Grad, will speak about his artistic practice and current exhibition His History of Art—the culmination of his residency. Penn will also celebrate the installation of Musson’s sculpture Sculptural Allegory for a Specific Cultural Sphere, 2014, in the Annenberg Lobby, the newest addition to the University of Pennsylvania Art Collection. A free public reception will follow at Penn’s Arthur Ross Gallery.

This event is organized with The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation and the University of Pennsylvania's office of the Curator, as part of Arts & Homecoming, an annual celebration of the arts at Penn.
