    Tuesday, December 3, 2024 Gateway Speaker: Henry Weverka, President, Ruth Asawa Lanier, Inc.  

    On Tuesday, December 3 at 10:00 am in Fireside, Henry Weverka, President of Ruth Asawa Lanier, Inc. visits the History & Culture Club. Starting with this event, members and non-members can register for the Speaker Series at www.rossmoor-hcc.com. Registration, while not mandatory, allows HCC to plan seating.

    Until 2013 Ruth Asawa repeatedly broke the glass ceiling of the art world with her wire sculptures, commissioned public art, clay forms, drawings, watercolors, arts education advocacy and more. It was unimaginable that in her 98th birth year Asawa’s work would be globally celebrated by one of her 10 grandchildren - Henry Weverka. Her life was filled with challenges, creativity and the magic of her art.

    This HCC Speaker Series event stems from the club’s 2023 tour of Asawa's public art work in San Francisco. That day, Henry Weverka joined the group at the deYoung Museum for an intimate talk. He graciously agreed to visit HCC with captivating stories, images and the charm of Ruth Asawa, his grandmother.

    Join HCC in welcoming Henry Weverka who enlivens Ruth Asawa’s legacy around the world.
