Harn Museum Nights: | Thursday, January 15th 5-9pm

The Harn galleries are open every Thursday evening until 9 pm, providing an opportunity to browse current exhibitions on a weekday evening. Become an alchemist apprentice of the arts through the Metamorphosis: Reshaping Contemporary Art exhibition which celebrates the fluidity and potential of materials, revealing their capacity to hold contradictions, evoke memory and provoke change; or discover the Japanese personal expression, aesthetic experimentation and technical innovation through sōsaku hanga 創作版画, or “creative prints,” in Japanese Abstraction: Highlights from the Jerry and Anne Godsey Collection. At the end of your visit, stop by the Harn Museum Store to pick up gifts related to our exhibitions! Click to learn more.
