Monthly Nights at The Joslyn events are evenings for art immersion. Come out for gallery talks, live music, art making, special programs, and tasty food and drinks (for purchase).
This month we’re looking at the breadth of the European collection, which offers a remarkable journey through six centuries of European art history, and celebrating the work of Impressionist artists and the movement that began 150 years ago. Drop in for variety of activities offered throughout the evening, and don’t miss the featured Curator Conversation, 6-6:45 pm, when Taylor J. Acosta, PhD, Chief Curator & Willis A. Strauss Curator of European Art, and Rebecca Manning, Rae and Bill Dyer Curatorial Assistant, share stories and insights about the reinstallation, conservation, and new works in of the European Art galleries.
A closer 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.
Curator Conversations: New at The Joslyn, 6-6:45 pm; we’ll continue our Nights at The Joslyn conversation series with Taylor J. Acosta, PhD, chief curator & Willis A.

Each month, Joslyn Art Museum curators, scholars, and community partners will have conversations about different areas of the collection—sharing new works and how the reinstallation unfolded in each part of the museum’s collection.
