Tickets will be available March 12 for ICA members and March 19 for the general public. 

Nationally recognized artists Janine Antoni and Pallavi Sen reflect on how encountering the Shakers —a 250-year-old Christian sect of pacifists who value the importance of “attempting to live an extraordinary life” as ordinary individuals—has influenced them in the studio and beyond. The artists will be joined in conversation by  Brother Arnold Hadd of Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester, Maine— one of two practicing Shakers in the United States. Jeffrey De Blois, the ICA’s Mannion Family Curator and organizer of Believers: Artists and the Shakers, will moderate this timely conversation on art, life, and community. A reception immediately follows the speaking portion of this program.
