Nights at The Joslyn

Animals in Art 

Monthly Nights at The Joslyn events are evenings for art immersion. Come out for art talks, art making, special programs, and tasty food and drinks (for purchase). Our activities are inspired by all the animals that can be found in artworks throughout the Museum. 

A look at the fun this month from 5–8 pm:    

• Begin at our Welcome Table in the Hawks Pavilion! Pick up a program and map for the evening. 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.    
• Don’t miss our curator talk at 6 pm in Abbott Hall* with Camryn Moore, Rae and Bill Dyer Curatorial Assistant, who curated Animals in Art, on view in the Focus Gallery.  
• At 7 pm, join us for a live animal presentation with staff from Fontenelle Forest, located in Bellevue.  
• Stop by the Fontenelle Forest Nature Association community partner table to learn more about the nature center and how you can participate in programs and activities to help care for the natural world. 
• Check out an animal-themed mural in the Discovery Garden, created by teen artists in the Kent Bellows Mentoring Program with mentor Hugo Zamorano, and add your own marks. 
• Create your own work of art with teaching artist Therese Straseski. 
• 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.  
• Due to the generous support of Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, Through the Lens: American Photographs from the Carter Collection, is free to all from 4–8 pm today; always free to Joslyn members.  
• Don’t forget to check out more great spaces—The Cafe offers food and drink for sale. The Shop has beautiful art items for all ages and interests. If you are part of an intergenerational group, be sure to visit Art Works: A Place for Curiosity, an interactive space with nine different art activity stations (children must be accompanied by adults).
