Happy Fall! There is much to see and do at the Museum this month. Please be sure to check out the newly opened exhibition, Helen Frankenthaler & Jo Sandman: Without Limits, as well as Masks of Memories: Art and Ceremony in Nineteenth Century Oceania, which opens on October 6th. In October, we welcome back pianist George Lopez who will perform two concerts at the Museum on October 14th with Scottish fiddle champion Bonnie Rideout. We look forward to crossing paths with you then and at other public programs this fall.
