Artist Reception - ARTifacts (Artistic Interpretations of Curator?s Chosen Objects)

Our museum curators chose 3 objects each from collection storage and participating museum members will artistically interpret one item and make an “art object”. Then all the objects will be on display and the members’ items will be for sale. For example, Sandy Rogers, our Archaeology Curator, would choose a basket. The 3 artists assigned that object would then create a piece of art of their own design – one artist might see the basket’s weave texture and make a woven metal sculpture; another may envision the person that made the basket and paint a picture of that scene; the third artist might write a poem about the feeling of weaving. The idea is to have fun and get very creative.

Receptions are always free and open to the public. Maturango Museum 7-10pm
