Fascinating Photography

First Saturdays of the month are for art fun! Stop by for gallery activities, special presentations, and creative exploration designed for all ages. Today we’re celebrating the art of photography, inspired by the exhibition, Through the Lens: American Photographs from the Carter Collection.

A look at the fun this month from 11 am–2 pm: 

Begin at our Welcome Table in the Hawks Pavilion! Pick up a program and map for the day. We can let you know about membership opportunities, upcoming programs, our Bloomberg Connects digital guide, and Art Card self-guide resources. We also can help with any accessibility needs.  
Out & About Storytime with Omaha Public Library, 11 am.
Join us for photo booth fun.
Chat with members of photography clubs in the Omaha area—Photographers Club of Omaha, Rockbrook Camera Community Club, and Heron Haven Photography Club.

Slow down and sketch in the galleries.
Check out our Art Cart station, with opportunities to touch hands-on materials and talk about art with our friendly Gallery Volunteers.  
The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event. 
Through the Lens: American Photographs from the Carter Collection, is free to all today; always free to Joslyn members.
