Libraries aren't the only institutions with archives! Many institutions, including #fwmoa, have designated collections they preserve and promote. Meet the artists currently in our Special Collections & Archives in this post:
Playing Favorites: Chrystel Lopez & Katja Oxman
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! Our newest member, Education Intern Chrystel Lopez, spent her first day on the job acquainting herself with the collection. Learn why Katja Oxman's self-portrait is her #staffpick and see it on display through the end of January!
Saturday Studio: Bugging Out!
The #fwmoa Studio is bugging out over the end of the 17 year hibernation for the Brood X #cicadas. We're not buzzing with excitement, but we're marking their return by creating watercolor resist cicadas inspired by artist's Laurel Izard & Charlie Cummings.
Saturday Studio: Still Life (or is it?)
Gather up your favorite treasures and souvenirs to create your own genre-spanning still life inspired by the work of Katja Oxman, currently on display at #fwmoa in a "Year of Making Meaning".
