Alma W. Thomas: Everything Is Beautiful
Curator’s Perspective
Creative art is for all time and is therefore independent of time. It is of all ages, of every land.—Alma Thomas
Phillips Collection Associate Curator Renee Maurer will introduce Alma W. Thomas: Everything Is Beautiful, discussing Thomas’s wide-reaching artistic practices that extended far beyond her studio and shaped every facet of her life—from gardening to teaching to community service. Her pursuit of beauty everyday and everywhere brought people together to transform a city.
