PCAL CES and The Capitol Present: Minnie Evans - Draw or Die Documentary Screening

Location: The Capitol (416 E Main Ave)
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Minnie Evans began drawing in 1935, compelled by dreams and later a voice that suggested she must “draw or die.”

The one-hour documentary film, produced and directed by filmmaker Linda Royal, lifts the unique voice of self-taught artist Minnie Evans from conversations between Evans and photographer, Nina Howell Starr. Preserved in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art archives, their taped discussions from the 60s-70s reveal a loving friendship and Minnie's personal history. Grounded in the compositions and forms she produced, the film's visuals will employ her art work through the decades, archival images, Nina Starr's black and white photography along with the gardens and coastal landscapes that inspired Minnie's work.

The desire to fulfill her soul’s purpose given by God is at the center of her visionary work. During her lifetime, Minnie Evans drew an estimated 3,000 pictures using crayons and other media, yet she had no formal training, and every one of her works of art is unique.

Evans's paintings and drawings are in the permanent collections of prominent art museums across the USA, yet she's not widely recognized.

Free tickets are available at https://capitolbg.org/. After the screening, a Q&A with filmmakers will be offered.

7:30pm - 8:30pm
