VAL Art Talk
Join the Visual Art League of Lewisville for its monthly general meeting at Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles Street.
Each month in conjunction with the general meeting, VAL produces an “Art Talk” series of known speakers and art demonstrations that are free and open to the public. This month, join us for an inspiring evening featuring award-winning artist, Marilyn Henrion.
The presentation will trace Marilyn Henrion’s journey as a fiber artist and mother of four through the wild ’50’s and ’60’s at the heart of a historic period in the New York art and literary scene up to her continuing creative explorations in Texas as she approaches the age of 93.
At home with both abstract and more representational imagery, her works reflect on the intricate interplay of color, form, and texture. Hand quilting coupled with digitally manipulated photography utilizes modern technology while at the same time honoring traditional fine craftsmanship.
Marilyn Henrion was born in Brooklyn New York in 1932. She spent all of her adult life as a resident of Greenwich Village until 2022, when she relocated to Plano Texas at the age of 90. A graduate of Cooper Union, she is an internationally recognized artist whose works are included in museums, corporate and private collections worldwide and who is represented in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art.

VAL Art Talks take place the second Tuesday of each month at the Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles St, in Old Town Lewisville.
The Grand is Lewisville’s home for the arts. It presents a variety of regional and national touring performers, art exhibits, and classes, while also giving the many arts groups in the greater Lewisville area a facility to perform and display their works. Its multiple performance spaces play host to a variety of events, including live music, theater, dance performances, comedy shows, and more. The center features the 294-seat Huffines Performance Hall, black box theater, recital hall, art gallery, and courtyard.
