Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
If you've visited #fwmoa lately, you've definitely seen some of our wonderous glass sculptures. Inspired by our glass collection, today in the Studio we're playing with ice and light to see why artists choose this medium specifically.
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! A curator who works primarily with the permanent collection, Lauren Wolfer has many favorites (we won't tell the other works!). Her current pick? A new glass work by artists Tim Tate & Michael Janis.
