Marks made in one medium evoke rich relationships with those made in another, deepening the viewer’s appreciation for resonance. Throughout the Kent, with its own storied patina tying the present to the past, the connections made between art and building and visitor echo the ties between time and place and community as our audience discovers a unique sense of shared roots and different perspectives. Creative expression becomes a throughline for appreciating life's odysseys, preserving a sense of possibility, and navigating the way forward.
IN GRATITUDE
Art at the Kent would simply not be possible without its amazing team:
Web Designer and Weaver, Kate Burnim; Mary Elder Jacobsen, Editor at Large and Shepherdess of Words Out Loud; Graphic Designer and Production Coordinator, Linda Mirabile of RavenMark; Brilliant Mary Admasian of Lights On Marketing; Celebration and Event Maven, Neha Shukla, with her Incredible Team of Sous Chefs; Barbara Butler, Miraculous Docent Coordinator; Roni Coleman, Superior Shop Manager; Primo Collections Manager, Lissa Fox; and Juliana Jennings, Collector of Beautiful Things!
Additional and heartfelt thanks go to our incredibly dedicated and vast cast of volunteers and docents as well as to our incredibly supportive donors. We are equally grateful to our remarkable community and immediate neighbors for their continued support.
