The man who never reads lives only one. George R.R. Martin, A Dance With Dragons ABOUT AFTERWORD: Afterword is a celebration of literature and all the ways it has inspired, influenced, altered, and contributed to our cultures. The written word is the basis of so much that defines humanity, as catalogues of our oldest folk talkes and mythologies, as stories which capture our imaginations and take us away to worlds we ve never been to before. This group exhibit brings together dozens of artists from across the US to reflect on literature through the lens of visual art. ARTIST LIST: Leanna Crossan, Ryan Morse, Robin Thompson.
