Gallery Conversation: Art Interpretation—How Does It Work?

Ever wonder why some art gets chosen for exhibition, while other works wait in the vault? Or maybe you’re just curious why that one painting is on a wall by itself. Either way, this is your chance to find out.

Come join Interpretation Manager Stace Treat for an inside look at how art is exhibited in our galleries and why works get placed where they do. You’ll learn to examine spaces with a curator’s eye as we study the museum’s salon hang in the Early American Art Gallery and see how arrangement and relationship can change how we understand a work of art. Who knows—you just might never look at art the same way again.
