“When They Were Here” – An Immersive Exhibit by Beverly Keese-Kelley

  As you tour the “in the round” exhibit, each view will reveal beautiful and powerful images made with found materials.

A Trenton native, multidisciplinary artist Beverly Keese-Kelley began creating art as a youth, under the tutorials of her mother Sudie Keese who taught her sewing, art, and decorating. She compiles her artwork from a ‘sustainable’ point of view, using what’s readily available such as found, thrifted and recyclable items, all the while using techniques and methods long known to African Artisans. ​Beverly combines her talent for art and crafting with her passion for history and the human experience, to visually articulate an emotional connection to both the past and present existence of the African American Diaspora.

The exhibit can also be visited through October 27, 2024, each week on Wednesdays through Sundays, 1:00 to 4:30 pm.
