AWTT Portrait Exhibit at The Shipley School
AWTT will be exhibiting several portraits of truth tellers at The Shipley School, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, during the month of February 2023, honoring Black History Month. We look forward to sharing the portraits with Shipley students, faculty and staff and interacting with them around the collection’s themes.
