Reception and Artist Talk: “A Journey of Inclusion and Belonging,” DaNice D. Marshall, Open Door Gallery

Join us in the Open Door Gallery for the opening reception of A Journey of Inclusion and Belonging, a solo exhibition by DaNice D. Marshall. Marshall is a born writer, who grew up in Boston, MA. In 2016, a serious illness left her with permanent lung damage, hearing loss and unable to walk without a cane. She started painting abstracts, as she puts it “mostly to watch the paint dry.” DaNice triumphed over these challenges and her artwork evolved to the Narrative Art that you see today. DaNice uses a textured acrylic technique to paint the stories that she can no longer write.

The Museum is open with free admission on January 19 in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and admission to the Open Door Gallery is always free.

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.
