“PostSecret”

February 4-March 27, 2010
The Art Gallery

In November 2004, Frank Warren began his community art project by handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places in the Washington, D.C., area. Each self-addressed card invited people to anonymously share a secret. The two requirements were: The secret had to be true and it had to be something that had never been told to another person. Today, Warren has been mailed more than 350,000 highly personal and artfully decorated postcards illustrating the soulful secrets we never voice. This extraordinary exhibition of more than 400 postcards brings together the most powerful, poignant and beautifully intimate secrets Warren has received. Reception: 5-8 p.m., February 4. The Art Gallery, Sturgis Library. Free.
