> Hi,
> 
> Can you please help advertise this? It's a fun event for grad students interested in arts. 
> 
> The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has extended their exhibition of Boston’s Apollo, which highlights issues of Black and queer erasure through Sargent’s relationship with his artistic model, Thomas McKeller. More details are below!
> 
> For those in the Boston area, we will make free tickets available to those who wish to view the exhibit in person. For those who are outside of Boston, the Gardner is preparing some materials for asynchronous/remote access. You can visit the museum anytime before 5:30 PM EST on October 8th.
> Please RSVP here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdQ8XX-8cpZCslzn9ZDzO2-DgMMr_3PxNhdbxBtRqZUoJIM7g/viewform?usp=sf_link>. If you have any questions you can reach out to Shannon (shanrose at mit.edu <mailto:shanrose at mit.edu>).

> Boston's Apollo
> A conversation with Molly Phelps, Academic Programs Manager/Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Nat Silver, William and Lia Poorvu Curator of the Collection, and art historian Mary Crawford-Volk.
> 
> Now on exhibit at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston's Apollo tells the story of Thomas McKeller, a Black Bostonian, WWI veteran, and artist's model who became the unsung hero of Boston's public art, including John Singer Sargent’s murals in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 
> For this hybrid event, you are invited to access museum content online and/or in person prior to our online meet-up. Then, on Thursday, October 8th at 5:30pm EST, we will gather together via Zoom for remarks and conversation/Q&A/panel discussions with Molly, Nat, and Mary. Discussion topics will include a primer on the Gardner Museum, the history of Sargent’s work, and the ancillary issues and events surrounding aspects of Black and queer erasure related to the exhibition.
