Off the Cuff: The Forgotten

A white man with short, grey hair, wearing a blue and white striped buttoned-down shirt, and a pink and blue tie. He is smiling, looking at the viewer, and resting his arm on a white pedestal. On the pedestal is an angular, dark blue glass sculpture.

"What'd ya get?" Is the question that follows any shopping spree, including ones undertaken by FWMoA President & CEO Charles Shepard for the museum's permanent collection. Here, he explains his process of acquiring new artworks for the museum, many of which are on display this week in our annual "Year of Making Meaning" exhibit.
