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.
