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, join Mel Buchanan, RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design for a conversation about the new exhibition Sand, Ash, Heat: Glass at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

This week, join Creative Assembly Cohort member Daniel Fitzpatrick for a poetic journey through NOMA’s permanent collection. With his poetry and an interactive discussion, Fitzpatrick will connect the museum and its galleries with New Orleans culture and communities, encouraging viewers to see their own lives and traditions reflected in NOMA’s art and spaces.

In preparation for this week’s Japan Fest, Lisa Rotondo-McCord, NOMA’s Deputy Director and Curator of Asian Art, will give a gallery talk about the exhibition Envisioning Japan: Transformational Gifts from Kurt A. Gitter, M.D. and Alice Yelen Gitter.
