“Minnie Evans:
Draw or Die”

Join the City of Hapeville to celebrate the power of local storytelling with the second installment of the Southern Circuit Independent Film Series. The series continues with a free screening of “Minnie Evans: Draw or Die” on Friday, October 16 at Jess Lucas Y-Teen Park.

This one-hour documentary gives voice to the self-taught artist Minnie Evans through conversations between Evans and photographer Nina Howell Starr. Their recorded discussions from the 60s and 70s, now preserved in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art archives, offer a window into their friendship and Minnie’s history.

The evening kicks off with a reception, followed by the screening. There will be a live Q&A after.
