The Weatherspoon Art Museum is pleased to invite members, friends, and students to our annual Fall Open House to celebrate all the fall exhibitions and highlights the collaborative relationships that have made our exhibitions possible.
The Weatherspoon will host a community collection study session to explore art and videogames. Focusing on Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa and the fictional Ichigo, we will discuss the role of visual art in the design of virtual worlds.
The museum is committed to access for all, and as part of our ongoing efforts, we are introducing ASL-Interpreted gallery tours of the exhibition Crip*: Artists Engage with Disabilities. There will be two tours at 11 am and 12 pm. Tours are free. Please register to attend.
George Dimock, Associate Professor Emeritus of Art, will discuss the American photography on display in the exhibition Interpreting America. Free and open to all.
This event is the first of the Crip* Film Series. The program emerged from conversations with the Crip* Advisory Committee, whose members expressed the desire to have alternate media to complement the works on view.
