Pollock and his passenger Edith Metzger’s deaths were caused by a car accident as a result of Pollock driving while intoxicated in 1956. Following the art presentation, Joyce will discuss resources for recovery from alcoholism, and participants are invited to share art that addresses recovery from substance abuse.
