invites you to

A Virtual Talk: Faces in Stone 

LESPI invites you to join architect and interior designer Robert Arthur King, and filmmaker Vivian Ducat on an adventure to seek out the fantastical beings carved out of stone or molded in terra cotta, that enliven the facades of New York’s historic buildings. 

Mr. King is a man obsessed when it comes to gargoyles, grotesques, and other elements of building sculpture. His fascination with these often overlooked figures has resulted in the publication of three books: Faces in Stone; Animals in Stone; and Figures in Stone.  The event will include a screening of Ms. Ducat’s documentary short, Stonefaced, and is a must for anyone who loves New York’s unique architecture.

WEDNESDAY JULY 29 AT 6:00PM - VIA ZOOM 

NO CHARGE - ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: REGISTER HERE
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
