Self-Portrait is a one-man poetry play that follows a modern day Groit as he reflects on his life in poetry, prose and paint. The audience is literally swept into the world of this revolutionary performer who translates his own very personal journey and evolution as an artist, son, father and Black man into words, music and on canvas.

COMING FALL 2008!!

An exhibition of artwork by Lewis Bryden.

Opening Reception: September 09, 2006 3Pm to 8PM

This is a permanent exhibition at Casa Frela. However, it will be on loan in Mexico for several months.

As a visual artist, Lewis Bryden looks for something unique and striking: a truly exotic landscape or an amazing and unique face. Observing a great diversity of people and places constantly inspires him. For Bryden, the racial mix of people is aesthetically beautiful, romantic and mysterious.
