Ashley Bryan' is about this 95-year-old artist who celebrates the awe and wonder of childhood in us all. Born in Harlem and raised in the Bronx, Ashley's talent was nurtured by artist Romare Bearden. After high school he was told "it would be a waste to give a scholarship to a colored person." So he applied to Cooper Union because in the application process "they don't see you there". Ashley was drafted out of Cooper Union at age 19 into the segregated US army and served in an all-black battalion preserving his humanity by reading poetry and drawing, stowing supplies in his gas mask. Ashley now lives on the remote Cranberry Islands, Maine, and has been using art his entire life to celebrate joy, mediate the darkness of war and racism, explore the mysteries of faith, and create loving community.
