Photography Exhibits at Nelson and Kemper Museums

In the month of March, enjoy the warmer weather as you make your way through the neighborhood to visit the Nelson-Atkins and the nearby Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

On three consecutive Fridays in March, enjoy special programs in conjunction with exhibitions of American photography at both Museums, American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh at the Nelson-Atkins and Biographical Landscape: The Photography of Stephen Shore, 1969-1979 at the Kemper Museum.

On March 14 docents will be on hand to provide exhibition tours of each exhibition.

The following week, meet the curators on March 21 as Christopher Cook from the Kemper and Keith F. Davis from the Nelson-Atkins will discuss the artwork of each artist in their respective galleries.

The final program on March 28 features Kansas City-based artists Michael Sinclair and Larry Schwarm who will lead informal gallery talks in each exhibition.

Exhibition tickets are required for American Horizons.

Nelson-Atkins Museum Says "Recharge Your Creativity with Studio Classes"

It's been a long winter so now is the time to get your creativity flowing with studio art classes at the Nelson-Atkins.

Adults may choose to paint their own American landscape, take an illustrated road trip or master the skill of perspective.

Art history courses and one-time workshops will enable you to gain a deeper knowledge of specific works of art in the Museum's collection.

Our studio classes for kids offer a variety of choices from learning the basics to constructing three dimensional objects. Children will work with a range of media including paint, clay, ink, photography and mixed media.

Interaction with the Museum's collection is the basis of all studio classes.If you're interested in finding out more about art classes at the Nelson-Atkins be sure to visit on Sunday, March 9 for an open house in the Ford Learning Center.
