The exhibition, Yoko Ono: Passages and Wishes, will be on view at Westminster College’s Foster Art Gallery from Monday, September 1 through Friday, October 24. Curated by Kevin Concannon and John Noga, the exhibition invites visitors into a deeply personal and participatory experience with Ono’s powerful message of peace, imagination and action.

Kevin Concannon, Yoko Ono scholar and professor emeritus at Virginia Tech, will deliver a free public lecture at 5:30 pm. Thursday, September 4, in the Witherspoon Maple Room in McKelvey Campus Center. A gallery reception in the Foster Art Gallery will follow from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

A central feature of the exhibition is the interactive, instructional work WISH TREE, where visitors are encouraged to write their personal wishes for peace on tags and hang them from the tree. At the close of the exhibition, these wishes will be returned to the artist and continue on in connection with Ono’s work, IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.
