I am very excited about this event. Can't wait to bring back all I learned into the classroom.
Educators' EveningTUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2011
FREE; Pre-registration required
Area educators are invited to a special evening to celebrate 30 Americans. This event includes guided exhibition tours, a presentation by artist Noah Davis, performances by Jolley Sound Experience Jazz Trio and spoken word poet Messiah, as well as refreshments and an exciting door prize. Each participant receives a tote bag with the 30 Americans educator’s resource packet. If you are an art educator and want to sign up, click here. 
Davis is a young African-American painter schooled at The Cooper Union and currently residing in Los Angeles. Noah Davis creates a uniquely personal narrative in his psychologically charged paintings by sourcing imagery from found photographs, art history and autobiographical events. At once a storyteller, a surrealist and an astute social commentator, he often represents the quiet, forgotten moments in American history. Davis paints in an idiosyncratically classical manner, using traditional compositions and painterly techniques to evoke a world of nostalgia, memory and personal obsession. His works may reference racial, social or political issues, but always obliquely, depicting how these issues come to bear on our daily activities and inner lives. Click here to go to site of origin
