Register here for the accompanying artist talk and panel discussion: “Artist Talk with Lily Annabelle: A Merchant Story Sharing Session,” which will take place on Thursday, February 29 2024 from 5 - 6:45 PM.
When storefronts have become an integral part of a community’s identity, it is
a curious journey exploring the dynamics between the way they were built to
look and the way the community saw them; the way the owners wanted
them to look and the way they stay in our memories after their
departure.
Lily’s Goodbye to the Brick and Mortar series is a celebration of the life and
memories these neighborhood establishments generously gifted us. In
illustrating memorabilia from different eras and piecing them back together,
Lily skillfully tells a story that defies time, that lets the old meet the new, that
pays homage to the humans that have made a mark on the community.
