 |  | | Did you get some rest & relaxation over break? 😎 Hope so, because the museums are firing on all cylinders in this second half of March! We have four, count 'em 4, special exhibitions up and running (LaToya M. Hobbs, Future Minded, Wolf Vostell, and Picasso), plus Bosco Sodi and Arlene Shechet are still on view and great for a return visit. We have spotlight tours on the weekends, including a bunch of debuts; lunchtime gallery talks galore; and we'll have evening programs four times in the next two weeks, as you'll see in the rundown below (might be a new record for us). Come by, explore, and feel the energy! 🌞🌷 |
