Create Plus: We are all the continuum of our ancestors
How do we learn more about ancestors we’ve never met and how do we honor their stories in art? Connect past with present in this artmaking workshop designed for adult audiences. First, participate in gallery activities and discussion throughout the exhibition Whitfield Lovell: Passages to explore multiple narratives in Lovell’s work. Then head to the Rosenthal Education Center (REC) to create artworks inspired by your own stories, memories, and ancestors. In the spirit of Lovell’s work, participants will create memory jar assemblages with everyday objects and learn portrait drawing techniques to capture their personal likenesses or a likeness of an ancestor. Taught by local artist and educator, Ryan Leary. All materials are provided, but participants may wish to bring their own small objects or photographs representing personal memories and people from their past.

When all goes wrong, can this theater company make it to Opening Night and bring down the house (in a good way)? In this fantastic, farcical, fiasco of a show and Off-Broadway and West End comedic hit, the age-old adage is true: “the show must go wrong!” oops sorry, we mean “the show must go on!”
Guided by Artist Barry Lee from Atlanta, Georgia, vibrant artworks delve into the realm of vulnerability, exploring profound internal themes rooted in the artists’ lived experiences.
Proceeds from REVEL support Shakespeare For All, a series of initiatives designed to break down barriers to Shakespeare and the Classics for thousands of students, families, and communities members.

Join us for a special presentation by Adrienne L. Childs, PhD, esteemed independent scholar, art historian, and curator celebrating the opening of the exhibition, Rodin | Response: FIELD Family Secrets. Dr. Childs will draw on her deep experience exploring the connections between the birth of modernism and contemporary art—across lines of culture, race, gender, and power structures—to address the underpinnings of this exhibition. Her talk examines the contemporary artistic and curatorial practice of response: how artists interpret, expand, and reorder the history of art.
*Please note: Museum lectures will take place in Gallery 105 during the renovation of the lower level.
