Mario A. Robinson: Artist Talk at Ellis Island

Saturday, April 18 at 2:00 pm
The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration

Registration is required. Tickets are $25 each. Space is limited.

Join us for a special lecture with acclaimed American artist Mario A. Robinson, Save Ellis Island’s first-ever Artist in Residence.

During this program, Robinson will share select works created during his residency at the Ellis Island Hospital Complex and discuss the themes, stories, and visual language shaping this new body of work. Drawing inspiration from the island’s layered history, Robinson will offer insight into how place, research, and lived human experience inform his creative process.

This program offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artist, view works in progress, and gain a deeper understanding of how Ellis Island continues to inspire contemporary art today.
