For Another Maggie

May 11 - June 1

In May 2019 Wave Pool Artist in Residence Maggie Lawson tapped into the knowledge of Cincinnati’s elders to create intergenerational contemporary art installation.

Lawson debuted with a soft opening and community event in the gallery on Saturday, May 11th, from 6- 9pm. The opening coincided with Top of the Cycle, a group show in our upstairs gallery.

Lawson and her mother co-presented a 4-week art and craft series for older adults to share their creative talents with the next generation. The series was entitled ‘Crafting A Starter Kit for Adulthood’ and took place every Wednesday between April 17th – May 8th from 2:30-5pm in the gallery.

On May 9th Lawson presented “Happy Birthday to Who?”, a five-course spring meal that celebrated the one thing that happens to us all, aging. The exhibition closed with a celebratory reception and performance on Saturday, June 1st.
