Alexandria Art League Gift of a Woodcut Triptych
On Public Display

The public is invited to an exhibition of a mock-up and photographs of a woodcut triptych print, a gift given to the City of Alexandria by the Art League. The exhibition will be open Jan. 17 from 8 am to 5 pm, at the Dr. Oswald D. Durant Memorial Center, 1605 Cameron St.. The woodcut triptych print was created by youth-at-risk under the supervision of Steven Prince, a professional woodcut artist. Special high speed wood cutting tools, and a steamroller were used to create the 4' by 24' print.

Visitors will be able to provide public comments on the print for consideration for acceptance of the gift by the Alexandria Commission for the Arts and the Alexandria City Council.
