Program by Kate Francis
Kate Francis, Museum Affairs Officer for Fundraising and Development, will provide an update on the Museum's 2028 Campaign for expansion and renovation. She'll show new renderings and animations of the proposed Museum renovations. Kate will also review the Museum's construction timeline, the need for closure, and the activities Museum staff will host throughout the community while the main facility is closed to the public. Kate will also take questions and, if time allows, lead a tour of the Museum to talk about the challenges of the current building and the solutions the new construction offers. Attendees are invited to stay and browse the exhibitions currently on view including the 92nd All School Exhibition, Ancient Artifacts Abroad, and three (3) exhibitions featuring selected works from the Museum's outstanding permanent collection.
Members and guests are invited to bring 1-2 pieces of their art for "show and share." This is a fun time of sharing, socializing, and enjoying light refreshments. VISITORS ARE WELCOME!
