Lou Stovall to speak at Sidwell Friends School

My good friend and legendary DMV artist Lou Stovall will speak at Sidwell Friends School next Wednesday Nov 7, 6-8:30pm, as part of the exhibition of his artwork which will be on display in the Daryl Reich Rubenstein Gallery ••• Sidwell Friends School, 3825 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20016.

Lou Stovall was born in Athens, Georgia in 1937 and grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and at Howard University (B.F.A.). Since 1962, he has lived and worked in Washington, DC. His drawings and silkscreen prints have earned him grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Stern Family Fund.

Stovall's own prints and drawings are part of numerous public and private collections throughout the world. Though his craft is that of a printmaker, Stovall's passion for art extends beyond a single medium. He gives the same care and attention to his archival framing and furniture construction as he does to his intricate prints and drawings. Please visit his website for more information.
