Amy Ellingson: On Painting and the Nature of Work: Amy Ellingson in conversation with Libby Black + book signing

December 12, 2026 
5:30 - 8:00pm

Join us in EXiT for an afternoon with artist Amy Ellingson, in conversation with Libby Black, followed by a signing of Ellingson’s new book, On Painting and the Nature of Work.

 

Part studio memoir, part meditation on the creative process and part philosophical inquiry, the book follows a year in which the practical work of making paintings became bound up with questions of devotion, mortality, artistic and family inheritance, and archetype.

 

Wine will be served from 2 to 2:30pm, followed by the conversation and signing.
