Join curator Fred Poyner for an in-depth look at the exhibition Faces of Leadership: Presidential Portraiture. The program includes a 45-minute presentation during which Poyner talks about the presidential works of art on display and the artists who created them, including Seattle's "first sculptor" James Wehn. A guided gallery tour of the exhibition follows. Registration is not required.
>Artists far and wide have created images of our presidents and displayed them for all to see. These creative works surpass mere physical representations, providing historical continuity and a visible legacy for our nation. Faces of Leadership: Presidential Portraiture features more than 30 artworks and images from the permanent collections of the Washington State Historical Society, including sculpture busts, coins and medallions, and snapshots of presidents on the move. This exhibit is on view now through October 5, 2008.<p>
