This historic event celebrates the opening of the largest exhibition of LeWitt wall drawings ever installed and a 25% expansion of MASS MoCA’s galleries. Conceived more than five years ago and designed by Sol LeWitt before he passed away last year, the exhibition is a collaboration with Yale University Art Gallery and Williams College Museum of Art. Since April 2008 60+ artists have been hard at work painting almost a mile of walls in the renovated Building 7 at the heart of the MASS MoCA campus. The completed 27,000 square foot building, which contains 100 LeWitt wall drawings, will be open free to the community on November 16.

Busses to run continuously between Paresky and MASS MoCA, beginning at 11:45 am. Check with WCMA for more details.
