In partnership with “Flocked, Blocked, and Stenciled”: A Providence Wallpaper Event

This scenic block-printed paper is noteworthy for its idealized egalitarian depiction of Jacksonian America, interpreting images of Native American and African American figures as a distinguished part of the American landscape. Join us as Professor Emlen explores these idealized French notions of democracy in the United States of the 1830s. Exhibit on view will feature contemporary wallpaper designs by local artists.

Be sure to join “Flocked, Blocked, and Stenciled” at various other events showcasing and celebrating the hard work of the artists, including the opening of the exhibit at 186 Carpenter on Friday, September 9th; a Eat & Speak Event in partnership with Design Week RI on Wednesday, September 21st; and a lecture with historic wallpaper and textile reproduction specialist John Burrows at PPL on Wednesday, September 28th.
