Museum of Art

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. “Human Flow,” an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. All are welcome at this free event.

A workshop with Amy Herman, founder of “The Art of Perception” and author of “Visual Intelligence” and “Fixed.” Herman is a lawyer and art historian who uses works of art to sharpen observation, analysis, and communication skills. By showing people how to look closely at painting, sculpture, and photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to recognize the most pertinent and useful information as well as recognize biases that impede decision making.

Join us for an evening of art and conversation as we celebrate our Spring 2024 exhibitions, Derrick Adams: Sanctuary and David Plowden: Portraits of America. Drinks (cash bar) and complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be served. All are welcome! 

“The Light of the Levant: Early Photography and the Late Ottoman Empire” traces nearly a century of photography in the region. Curated by History of Art and Architecture faculty Pieter Broucke and Sarah Rogers, the exhibition includes the work of foreign and local photographers, both professional and amateur, to showcase the various scientific, commercial, ideological, and personal uses of the new medium and highlight a network of circulation in which images transported ideas about cultural otherness, imperial desires, and notions of modernity.

Join the Friends of the Art Museum as we consider our next gift to the museum’s collection. Associate Professor of American Studies Ellery Foutch will present three contemporary American works of art for possible purchase, and the members of the Friends will vote to determine which work gets added to the collection. The evening will also feature a buffet dinner and cash bar.

If you’re not currently a member of the Friends, be sure to activate or renew your membership to guarantee you’ll be able to vote. https://midd.art/JoinFOAM
