Spend the day with artist and professor Ruth Weisberg whose work is featured in the Skirball's forthcoming exhibition Ruth Weisberg Unfurled, opening May 8. Tour the exhibition with the artist and learn about her ongoing commitment to themes she first explored in the monumental work The Scroll: the convergence of her life story with Jewish history and memory; parallels between contemporary and biblical life; the creation of an identity for those lost in the Holocaust; and Weisberg's belief in renewal. Following a deluxe catered luncheon at the Skirball, travel to Venice to spend the afternoon at Weisberg's studio where participants will preview projects in process, and experience how a master artist and gifted teacher approaches her work.
