Canvas Exclusive | An Evening with the Artist: Tsherin Sherpa

Mon, Sep 19, 6–8 pm

VMFA is thrilled to welcome Tsherin Sherpa back to Richmond in the midst of a momentous year for the Nepalese-born Tibetan American artist.

For this special evening with Canvas, Sherpa will join Dr. John Henry Rice, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art, to reflect on the success of Tsherin Sherpa: Spirits at VMFA, these other recent milestones, and further developments on the horizon.
