John M. Lyons Scholarship

A man a blue shirt is standing and speaking to an assembled diverse group of people at an art gallery. Most of those watching him are adults, and they are lined up in the back of the room. He is gesturing with his hands, his face in profile. The gallery has light walls and a polished parquet floor. Behind the audience, different pieces of art are displayed on the walls. A notable piece is centrally located and consists of a wire-caged oversized bottle filled with other items, mainly what appears to be children's toys and figurines. The overhead lighting is bright and contemporary.
