Open Sesame Salon: Progress(ive) with Will Reeves

The undercurrent of the American spirit is driven by the ideals of progress, resiliency, and modernization. Will Reeves, sculptor and founder of The Wurks, will discuss his research at the Athenaeum, the driving force of progress in today’s world, and perspectives of the 19th century to discover if there are parallels the 21st century can learn from.

Open Sesame is a Salon series supported by a major grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities that features conversations with a diverse group of artists and scholars as they dive into the Athenaeum’s collections and archives to find inspiration for their work.
