The Last Supper Sculpture: History & Viewing
February 24, 2024 |
During a scheduled building renovation in 2019, a 20-foot-wide bas relief of Akili Ron Anderson's reinterpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper was discovered. Since its discovery, the Studio Acting Conservatory (the new owner of the space) made efforts to relocate the Last Supper to the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Although multiple constraints prevented the move, NMAAHC repaired and restored the sculpture, in addition to creating a 3-D rendering and accessioning it into their collection. Join DCPL and the Studio Acting Conservatory for this rare behind-the-scenes look at this unique sculpture, with a private tour by the artist himself, Akili Ron Anderson.
This program is free and open to the public. Suggested donation of $10.00, with donations available through Venmo (@DCPresLeague) or online. Please register online to participate.
