June First Friday Pay-What-You-Can Open House featuring artist Keisha Finnie

Join the Stevens & Smith Center on Friday, June 5, from 5pm-7pm for our First Friday Pay-What-You-Can Open House! Each First Friday, the Center opens its doors to the public for a chance to explore its 16 galleries, immersive media experiences, and to meet the artists involved. This Friday, 5-7pm, meet local artist and featured muralist Keisha Finnie (@keishafinnie). Her mural is on view in the Center’s Second Founding Gallery, which examines the fight for civil rights and equality from the 19th century to the present. Stop by for a close look as Keisha shares her process and journey. She will also have merchandise for sale, which includes t-shirts, stickers, pottery, switch plates, and hats.

Keisha Finnie is a prominent Lancaster-based artist and advocate who uses her vibrant art to explore her artistic and personal evolution as a woman of color, emphasizing personal experiences and observations. Her work has been featured in local magazines: Blk Voices, Susquehanna Style, and Fine Living. Her work can be viewed on many different scales, from canvas, musical instruments, restaurants, hospitals, to large-scale murals around Lancaster.
