Today in the #studio we're inspired by the beautiful blooms of summer inside the museum, so, we’ll explore another way to bring the outdoors in: flower pounding! Learn how in this #saturdaystudio!
Saturday Studio: Flower Power
Off the Cuff: The Glass of Wilfried Grootens
If you know anything about #fwmoa President and CEO Charles Shepard, it's probably that he loves glass. Here, he shines a light on the magic behind the glass of sculptor/artist Wilfried Grootens.
Art Term Tuesday: Emphasis
Where is your eye drawn...and why? In this #arttermtuesday we explore the artists use of emphasis (or lack thereof) to tell their story and get their message across to the viewer.
Playing Favorites: Megan True and Lukasz Habiera
At #fwmoa, staff are playing favorites and picking a work they love currently on display. We asked our Summer Education Intern and Teen Council member Megan True to visit the galleries and find her favorite. See what she loved in this #staffpick.
Recent Acquisition: John Wesley Hardrick
It's officially summer and the #fwmoa has a lush and lavish, albeit painted, garden on display. To celebrate our new exhibition, "Lush and Lavish", we're taking a closer look at recent acquisition John Wesley Hardrick's painting "Chrysanthemums".
Saturday Studio: From Scrap to Nap
It may be hot now but it won't be for long! With June already flying by we're thinking of long summer days and cooler nights that require a blanket, or quilt. Learn to make a tie quilt in this #saturdaystudio!
Art Term Tuesday: (Fashion) Designer
We're celebrating Fort Wayne designer Bill Blass' 100th birthday at #fwmoa for the next 100 days. To kick-off, we're taking a look at what the word designer means, with an emphasis on those in fashion.
Answer the Call: Turning the Lens on Morgan Barrie
The National: Best Contemporary Photography 2022 call for entry is LIVE! To celebrate, we're turning the lens, one at a time, on our invited photographers. Next up: Morgan Barrie. Check the #fwmoa website for details on entering through June 19th.
Treasures from the Vault: Martin Lewis
Martin Lewis, who would have celebrated his birthday tomorrow, is remembered for his realistic, everyday etchings of New York City. Take a look at this print from the #fwmoa collection, how has NYC changed? How has it stayed the same?
Saturday Studio: Curly Creations
The #fwmoa is hosting a garden party and the studio has moved outdoors to join! Today, we'll look to Dorothy Gillespie and her 3D, outdoor sculptures for inspiration to make our own wavy, curly paper works.
