The Museum of Contemporary Religious Art (MOCRA) is pleased to welcome acclaimed visual artist Lesley Dill, poet Tom Sleigh and Rene Paul Barilleaux, head of curatorial affairs at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas for a virtual, Zoom-based presentation. MOCRA Director David Brinker will guide the conversation. 

The event is presented in conjunction with the MOCRA exhibition, “Lesley Dill: Dream World of the Forest,” on display through Oct. 16, 2022. Dill is renowned for incorporating text—particularly poetry—into all of her artwork. “Dream World of the Forest” includes two large pieces that interweave painted words from Sleigh’s poems with hand-cut paper imagery.
