The Johnson Memorial Building’s Exhibition Gallery presents recent works by painter Rebecca Kinkead and poems by Ben Humphries. The pairing of the paintings and poems represents a dialogue between the artists and their reflections/responses to human impacts on the natural habitats of animals and the Earth’s climate.  

Free and open to the public. Opening reception on October 17th from 5-7PM in the Johnson Memorial Building’s mezzanine and exhibition gallery.
