Art Book Club

Is there anything more enjoyable than looking at art and talking about books?  We at the Museum Library don’t think so and that’s why we host an art-themed book club!  

In November we will discuss Craft: An American History by  Glenn Adamson.  Adamson brings us a groundbreaking history of how artisans created America and what is lost to industrialization over time.  This book celebrates the makers whose collective striving has been central to the nation’s economic, social and cultural development, from the Revolutionary War to today’s “craftivists.”

Following our initial discussion we’ll move into the galleries to view the exhibition Gustave Baumann:  The Artist’s Environment and continue exploring themes, ideas, and experiences raised by the text.
