Amy Whitaker to speak about her new book, Museum Legs

Tuesday, November 24
5pm Art Gallery, Humanities Building

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, please join Amy Whitaker as she talks about "Lifelong Creativity" in conjunction with her new book, Museum Legs: Fatigue and Hope in the Face of Art.  

Museum Legs is a collection of essays that places art museums at the intersection of creativity and public life.  It is a funny and engaging look at the history and politics of museums, in a way that invites people to think differently about art and creativity in their own lives.
