Please join us for the closing reception of Thornton Dial: I, Too, Am Alabama at AEIVA, the first large-scale exhibition of the artist’s work in his home state of Alabama. Guests will have a final opportunity to view this captivating fusion of sculpture and painting that has transformed American art.

We will also have encore screenings of Alabama Public Television’s recent episode of Monograph which pays tribute to Dial through never-before seen interview footage of Mr. Dial, his family, and artist Lonnie Holley.
