Stories about "community"
There's something quietly radical about handing the keys of a museum's permanent collection to its community 鈥� about saying, this decision is yours. 乐播传媒 Curates is an intimate evening built around exactly that. Curator Samantha Sigmon will guide attendees through three photographs by Shellburne Thurber 鈥� works that linger in doorways and dim interiors, that hold the weight of lives lived just out of frame 鈥� before opening the floor to a vote that will shape the museum's collection for good. Organized in conjunction with Shellburne Thurber: Full Circle, on view through March 21. Made possible by the Barbara Morris Goodbody Collection Endowment Fund.
