Cocktails & Mocktails with Curators Recorded Webinar
with special guest artists Margery Amdur and Diana Baumbach
Cocktails & Mocktails with Curators is a recorded Zoom Webinar event that was live on May 6 at 5:30 p.m. During this happy-hour version of Conversations with Curators, participants were encouraged to imbibe with a favorite libation from their home kitchen, or a delectable curbside concoction. The event featured artists Margery Amdur and Diana Baumbach, along with Katie Christensen, curator of education and statewide engagement for an informal conversation about Material Slip. The recording includes a short video walk through of the exhibition and sneak peak of Amdur's studio and current works in progress. Participants were invited to ask questions through a Q&A function via ZOOM webinar. The event was Free and open to all.
