Movie Night at Nepenthe 6 – 8 pm  Dorothy Gillespie:  Courage, Independence and Color (90-minute documentary) will be shown—with opening remarks by Gary Israel, Dorothy’s son

Nepenthe Gallery proudly presents “Dorothy Gillespie: Courage, Independence and Color” by NYC filmmakers Jay Scala and Crystal White in association with the Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation.  We will be joined by Dorothy’s son, Gary Israel, who has spent the last decade sharing his talented mother’s art with literally the world.  Gary will make opening remarks, and light refreshments will be served.

The White Ladder Productions tells the story of Dorothy Gillespie on her journey, in what can only be described as a life exemplified by courage, independence, and color. The filmmakers have traveled to cities across the country where they interviewed friends, artists, collectors, museum officials, university administrators, public art officials, and others to paint a rich portrait of Dorothy Gillespie and her world.
