The Last Supper
Dates: February 21 - April 12, 2015
As part of a city-wide conversation on Human Rights, Faith and Reason during 2015, The Dayton Art Institute and the University of Dayton present artist Julie Green's The Last Supper: 600 Plates Illustrating Final Meals of U.S. Death Row Inmates. This installation of delicately painted porcelain plates raises tough questions about the humanity of the death penalty. The exhibition is in support of and in conjunction with the Dayton Opera’s production of Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking and a February 26 lecture at the University of Dayton by Sr. Helen Prejean, author of the book Dead Man Walking.
