⌛ Time is almost up on this this rare chance to collect an artwork by Cecilia Paredes at a very special price – only available to subscribers of Dinner Date! • “The Sky and the Sea” depicts a celestial/terrestrial map of Paredes' own creation, based on antique maps and manuscripts from a variety of cultures. She combines mythologies, traditions and imagery from India, Europe and Latin America, uniting them by compressing the sky, sea and world into a single image. The piece embodies the Spanish phrase “el mundo es un pañuelo,” or, "the world is a handkerchief" – in essence: "it's a small world." • Our spring fundraiser, Dinner Date, will begin with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and conversation with Paredes, in her exhibition “By my side or back of me,” followed by an elegant dinner with the honoree in The Print Center’s galleries, surrounded by her beautiful artworks. We are looking forward to an exceptional evening and there are just a few spots left, RSVP today! • ✨ Wednesday, June 4, beginning at 6pm ✨ Tickets from $225 are available now ➡ https://printcenterstore.myshopify.com/collections/dinner-date-with-cecilia-paredes Or, call 215.735.6090 x1 ✨ Guests at the Patron and Benefactor levels will receive “The Sky and the Sea,” 2019 (pictured) • Supporting The Print Center's long legacy (110 years!) of honoring printmaking and photography, *and* enjoying this exceptional evening among friends? It's a win-win! • #DinnerDate #ThePrintCenter #ThePrintCenterPhiladelphia #CeciliaParedes #springfundraiser #nonprofitfundraiser #phlarts #supportthearts @ceciliaparedesarte (fb)
