Join us in the galleries each Wednesday for weekly talks with artists, curators, and other special guests. During these casual conversations, we’ll take a close look at different works currently on view at NOMA.

This week, Allison Westerfield, curator of Double Space: Women Photographers and Surrealism, will discuss the exhibition.  This talk will be offered at 12:30 pm and 6:00 pm.
