Impressions of Yesterday

Toured April 23- June 9, 2018

By Wade Bradford

SOLD! Lauren, Sarah, and their mom just purchased a trunk filled with junk—or so they think. While their mom is away, artists and innovators from the Impressionism Movement pop out of the trunk! Mary Cassatt, Thomas Edison, and others teach the girls—and the audience—that inspiration is everywhere. You simply need to “keep your eyes and mind open, and capture whatever makes an impression.”

Target Audience:
K-6th grade

Tour Dates:
April 23-June 9, 2018

Presented in collaboration with Quincy Art Center.
