There will be an opening lecture, "Mary Sims's Multiplicity," by art historian Marina Pacini, who wrote the biographical essay in the exhibition catalog, on May 3 at 2:00 p.m.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
