Curator's and Director's Circle Members will embark on an intimate tour of our Fall 2018 exhibitions at the Jones Center with Associate Curator Julia Hendrickson.

Members are invited to view and celebrate our Winter 2019 exhibition and enjoy music, drinks, and food on the Jones Center rooftop.

Exhibiting artists include Veronica Ceci, Madeline Irvine, Paloma Mayorga, Virginia Lee Montgomery, Michael Muelhaupt, Manik Raj Nakra, Matthew Steinke, and Jenn Wilson.
