September 13th:  Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over by Nell Irvin Painter

As a renowned historian and recently retired Princeton professor, Dr. Nell Painter decided to return to school – as an undergraduate – to learn to paint.  This funny and thoughtful book about reflection and reinvention of self, is a wonderful tale to complement our exhibition This is Not a Selfie, in which 66 artists explore self-portraiture.

Second Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm.

Free with Museum Admission which is only $5 after 5pm on Thursdays.
