Inspiration and Insights with the Dalvero Academy Artists

Join us at the Mystic Arts Center for a special evening of discussion and celebration of the current exhibition at Mystic Seaport, "Restoring a Past, Charting a Future: An Artistic Discovery of America's Whaling Legacy by Dalvero Academy." Artists Susan Buroker, Audrey Hawkins, Margaret Hurst, Veronica Lawlor, and Dominic Santise will give a presentation about the Academy's artistic interpretation of the restoration of the Charles W. Morgan.

The exhibition, which opened in May, presents multiple perspectives of the historic whaleship and the legacy of whaling. Utilizing numerous mediums, including ink, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, sculpture, photography, and embroidery, 24 of Dalvero Academy's artists created a remarkable exhibit that reflects the inspiration found within the Morgan and Mystic Seaport.
