Rice Polak Gallery is excited to announce a reading by artist and story teller Willie Little. The reading will take place at Rice Polak Gallery at 6pm on Friday August 18th, before the opening reception for this accomplished artist.
"In the Sticks” is a coming-of-age story of growing up in the late 60s and 70s and grappling with family, love, pain, shame and a sense of belonging. It is a story of how art became his destiny, and how art helped him overcome the marginalization of being a gay black man, from the rural south. It’s one man’s journey to overcome the longing to be anywhere, but where he lived– off Sticks Road, in the Pactolus township near Little Washington, North Carolina."
