Dear Friends,
2023 was a very exciting year with events, installations and exhibitions in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and New York. (See photos below)
One of the highlights of the year was the restoration of the Dorothy Gillespie 1979 Wall Mural in Downtown Roanoke.

In 2023 many more of my mother's art was submitted into the Public Art Archive.
The Public Art Archive is a searchable database of completed public artworks from around the world. To date 52 locations of my mother's art around the country have been catalogued in the PAA. (See Gillespie Public Art below)

In next month's newsletter you will learn more about the full feature documentary titled Dorothy Gillespie: Independence, Courage and Color scheduled to premiere in Wilmington NC in April, and Roanoke and Orlando in May.
Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy 2024!
Gary
