Detail:

In conjunction with the exhibition "Life as a Legend: Marilyn Monroe," Project Onward presents a series of paintings and drawings depicting the iconic celebrity. George Zuniga, Blake Lenoir, Kathleen Buchek, and other mainstays of the Project Onward studio offer their own interpretations of Monroe’s life and times, with inspiration ranging from her sexy photo spreads, to her glamorous public life, to darker evocations of her loneliness and tragic demise. Project Onward is the Department of Cultural Affair’s studio program for artists with special needs. The program supplies work space, art materials, and professional guidance to over 30 adult artists living with developmental and mental disabilities. In addition to the Project Onward Gallery, art work by Project Onward artists can be viewed at the Gallery 37 Store (66 East Randolph) and online at www.projectonward.org.
