Happy August! As summer ripens and long lazy days beckon, come enjoy the cool of evening with Night Vision: Nocturnes in American Art, 1860-1960, celebrate Gilbert Stuart's own summer sojourn in Maine nearly 200 years ago with Gilbert Stuart: From Boston to Brunswick, or harken back to the winter of 2015 with A Mind of Winter: Photographs by Abelardo Morell. On August 6th, we look forward to welcoming you for a discussion about Stuart's trip to Brunswick in 1821 in front of the portraits he produced for the College's first benefactor. Also, hear different perspectives on Night Vision with noontime talks by historian of electricity Jane Brox on August 13th and organizing curator Joachim Homann on August 20th. And on Friday, August 14th join us for a "Night at the Museum," with a festive reception and tours of our current exhibitions in conjunction with the Brunswick ArtWalk.
See you at the Museum!
