In her ongoing exhibition, “Revelations and Transformation, Layers of Memory,” local artist Patricia Moss-Vreeland explores memory “as a meditation on who we are.” On June 20, she’ll invite members of the Penn Memory Center community to do the same. In a free, one-time workshop for Penn Memory Center patients, research participants, and their loved ones, guests will learn to become “creators through the lens of memory,” said Moss-Vreeland, and will be welcome to take home any artwork they create. The artist will also hold a guided tour of the exhibition. RSVP: Felicia Greenfield at 215-662-4523 or felicia.greenfield@uphs.upenn.edu *Light refreshments will be provided.*
