Zimmerli Museum Updates
See, Hear, Touch: Art for the Senses
Join us for back-to-back concerts this weekend! On November 16, New Brunswick Chamber Orchestra (NBCO) performs Mythos, a program of string quartets inspired by ancient legends. On November 17, Music at the Museum is inspired by the current exhibition Dimensionism: Modern Art in the Age of Einstein. Both events are free, but popular, so seating is often limited. Please visit website for further details to secure your spot!
Stop by a NEW Holiday Pop-Up Shop on November 22 and 23. The event features unique gifts designed by artists, including Mason Gross students, faculty, staff, and alumni. (Become a Zimmerli member to receive an invite to the preview reception on November 21!)
A Celebration of the Books of Vladimir Radunsky features illustrations from four of his children's books, including the recently released Mother Goose of Pudding Lane. Chris Raschka, who authored the book, stops by the museum on November 23. The program is free, but an RSVP is requested.
Register now for the next Saturday afternoon adult workshop, Winter Watercolors with Tom Rutledge, on December 7. Improve skills or learn new techniques by creating a winter landscape.
