The Last Supper Sculpture: History & Viewing

During a building renovation in 2019, a 20-foot-wide bas relief of Akili Ron Anderson's reinterpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper was discovered. Since its discovery, the Studio Acting Conservatory(the new owner of the space) made efforts to relocate the Last Supper to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Although multiple constraints prevented the move, NMAAHC repaired and restored the sculpture, in addition to creating a 3-D rendering and accessioning it into their collection. Join DCPL and the Studio Acting Conservatory on Saturday, February 24th at 2:30 PM for this rare behind-the-scenes look at this unique sculpture, with a private Q & A with the artist himself, Akili Ron Anderson.

Sign up for event details and information about meeting at the Studio Acting Conservatory (3423 Holmead Place NW).
