Dessert reception to follow.

Luckily, her train wreck childhood best friend never left home, the restaurant down the block is hiring, and ill-advised romantic possibilities lurk around every corner. Aura quickly throws away her liberal-arts clogs and careens into her old/new life: a dead-end hostess job, parties on chilly East Village fire escapes, stealing twenties out of her mother's Prada purse, pathetic Brooklyn "art shows," prison-style tattoos done out of sheer boredom, drinking all the wine in her mother's neatly organized cabinets, and competing with her prodigious teenage sister. Surrounded on all sides by what she could become, Aura just wants someone to tell her who she is. http://www.everson.org/education/details.php?id=6312011-08-24 Thu Nov 17 2011 6:00:00 PMThu Nov 17 2011 00:00:00 Ceramic artist, Margie Hughto, will talk about the process and themes in her installation, A Fired Landscape.
