About the Exhibition

Poet and artist Shaun T. Griffin brings the stories from the struggles of life at the border into a series of watercolor paintings and poems. Shaun draws from his lifetime of experiences in service to the greater community. He co-founded and directed Community Chest, a rural social justice agency, for 27 years. Because the Light Will Not Forgive Me—Essays from a Poet was released by the University of Nevada Press in 2019. His most recent book of poems is The Monastery of Stars (Kelsay Books, 2020).

The exhibition will be on display online beginning December 2, 2021, and by appointment only at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 1 to 4 pm and on the first Friday of the month until 9 pm for First Friday events. Masks are required and numbers are limited to accommodate social distancing as we respond to the continuing changes in the pandemic protocols.
