Join us for a special screening of the 90-minute documentary “Dorothy Gillespie: Courage, Independence and Color,” produced by NYC filmmakers Jay Scala and Crystal White in association with the Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation.
The White Ladder Productions film traces the extraordinary life and legacy of artist Dorothy Gillespie — a pioneer whose bold spirit and vibrant works broke barriers for women in the arts. Through interviews with friends, artists, collectors, museum curators, and public art officials across the country, the film paints a vivid portrait of her courage, independence, and color-filled world.
Guest Speaker: Gary Israel, President of the Dorothy Gillespie Foundation
