Triad Arts with David Ford The Art of The Arc (Association of Retarded Citizens) of GreensboroSeptember 20, 2012The Association of Retarded Citizens of Greensboro (The Arc) invites you to join them for An Evening with Artist Beverly McIver on Tuesday night, October 9, at 6:00pm in the Emerald Event Center in Greensboro.
Beverly was the youngest of three daughters growing up in the Greensboro projects in the 1970s. Much of her childhood was spent searching for acceptance, battling racism, and dealing with the sometimes aggressive behavior of her eldest sister Renee who is mentally disabled. Beverly’s escape from the projects came through the world of visual art, and she quickly began charting a new direction as an African American woman artist.
She now holds an endowed chair as Professor of Art at North Carolina Central University, the historically Black university where she first learned to paint decades ago. When her mom died in 2004, Beverly agreed to become Renee’s caregiver. The story of their struggles and compassion was recently made into an HBO documentary film titled Raising Renee. The DVD will be available for sale at the Arc fundraiser dinner where Beverly will be the keynote speaker.
