We celebrated the conclusion of the exhibition Bill Walton’s Studio with Senior Curator Ingrid Schaffner and Penn student Ellie Levitt in a roundtable discussion about “the gift” in the gallery and how acts of generosity can add weight to an artist’s purpose or, as in the case of Walton’s studio, contribute to future art practices. Following the discussion guests were invited into Walton’s studio for a special gifting ceremony.
