Josh Williams, D-E Class of 2002, first solo show in NYC!!!!



Josh Williams 02' hosted a huge crowd last night at his first solo exhibit
in NYC.  His newest body of work has been dubbed contemporary
POP art and has received much positive acclaim!



 

 After graduating from D-E, where he still holds a special place in our hearts! (and the D-E bball all-time point record!), Josh studied at the prestigious School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.

All of us back in Swartley are so proud of Josh's amazing, powerful and visually striking work but also the great support of his fellow D-E classmates & friends, in particular Matt Bader & Jared White who put the exhibit and reception together.



Matt Bader & Josh Williams share the spotlight.



Allison Desir & the artist himself.



Being one of his 'early' teachers back in Swartley, I wouldn't have missed this opening for the world....
and it seems that most of the world showed up last night to celebrate this fabulous artist!!!

Hope you enjoyed this quick look

at the work of Josh Williams 02'
