Weekend Preview

I realize I singlehandedly buried the weekend preview so I've bumbed it back to the top. Don't forget what promises to be the best-birthday-bash ever!!!

Wednesday, December 13

5:30 - 6:30 pm - iMOCA 101: Collecting Contemporary Art. Free.

Please join us at iMOCA for a conversation with Lisa Freiman, Curator of Contemporary Art at the IMA, as we discuss how museums add to their permanent collections and purchase from temporary exhibitions at a time when the art market is more expensive then ever. We will also be discussing the trend of making private collections public, bypassing the traditional museum system and potential problems this may cause.
