The Alexandria Museum of Art is curating an exhibit of work by contemporary artists working in themes of poverty and homelessness to partner with Sordid and Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt's Etchings, which will be on display concurrently. This exhibition will feature juried works by artists working in all media in the subjects of poverty and homelessness to bring the topic to the forefront and connect it with the etchings of artist Rembrandt van Rijn.  

This exhibition will be on display at the Alexandria Museum of Art from March 1st through June 22nd, 2019 alongside "Sordid & Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt's Etchings" Selections from the John Villarino Collection.  

Clemente?

Whoever did today's artwork for Google honoring the late great Roberto Clemente (one of my childhood heroes) blew it - this guy looks nothing like Clemente -- but it is the thought that counts... so thanks Google (and please don't let China push you around!)
