Join us at the Barry Art Museum for this year's collaborative craft! Guests are invited to practice hands-on activities with museum staff and contribute to a community artwork that will be displayed at the museum in August 2024.
This year's craft is inspired by the dollhouse on view at the Barry Art Museum in gallery 4. Participants will be prompted with a different craft process each week, contributing to our 2-dimensional community paper dollhouse.
Come join us on Saturdays from 2-4 pm to relax, craft, and see your efforts displayed in 2024.
You're invited to an exclusive event at the Barry Art Museum featuring a private gallery talk with esteemed art critic and writer, Lance Esplund. Join us for an intimate conversation between Lance and Sara Woodbury, our new curator of art, as they explore the complexities of art, focusing on how to approach and even interpret art.
This special event, reserved for museum members, board members, and VIPs, offers a unique opportunity for in-depth discussion. As a special addition, attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Lance Esplund’s book, "The Art of Looking: How to Read Modern and Contemporary Art," followed by a book signing session.
