Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 2 PM in the Art Department for a talk by Philadelphia artist Cavin Jones.
Cavin Jones is a painter, muralist, and collagist whose figurative work is inspired by American history, particularly the African American experience. Jones has said that his work is "a catalyst to stimulate thought and promote discussion about various issues prevalent in society." His dynamic compositions often feature contrasting elements that as he says, "infuse the paintings with layers of meaning and associations."
Cavin will talk about his art journey, including his public mural work. After the talk in the Art Department, we’ll visit the Print and Picture Collection to view the original drawings for Cavin’s reimagined Alice in Wonderland. Cavin will have copies of his books available for purchase.
