Graphite and War
A World Premiere Benefit Screening
Sunday, January 24th at 2:00 pm
Newport Performing Arts Center
Rick Bartow came home from Vietnam a changed man. The Wiyot artist spent the rest of his life working through that trauma on paper, in wood, and in bronze, turning pain into some of the most powerful art the Pacific Northwest has ever seen.
Join us for the world premiere of Graphite and War, a documentary short from Sugarbush Hill Productions that follows Bartow’s journey to heal through art and the legacy he left behind. The filmmakers will be there, along with members of the Bartow Trust.
Admission is by donation ($20 suggested) and all proceeds support the effort to bring a Bartow bronze sculpture to Newport’s South Beach.
