Event Information

In early 2024, two local artists, Marilyn Gates- and Lamont Wes Harvey, were commissioned to paint scenes and portraits to help interpret the history of the enslaved of Montpelier. After engaging with the spaces where the enslaved lived and worked, and reading some of their challenging, harrowing, and joyful experiences, Marilyn and Lamont have created imagery that brings the stories of the enslaved to the forefront to be uplifted and exalted. You are invited to be a guest at the artists’ talk and reception. Be part of the unveiling.
