Contact: greggmembership@ncsu.edu

Friends of the Gregg members are invited to privately tour our two exhibitions opening next week before they open to the public. From the Pratt Manhattan Gallery comes Design by Time, an exhibition with work from 22 international designers portraying time and its dynamic effects on fashion, furniture, textiles, vessels, and more. During the preview, members will have the opportunity to explore this exhibition with its co-curator Judith Hoos Fox of c2 curatorsquared.

All that Glitters—Spark and Dazzle from the Permanent Collection, showcases some of the most visually stunning objects from the Gregg’s collection, and uses them as points of departure to probe some of the deeper cultural, psychological, and even evolutionary impulses that may have brought about their creation in the first place. Director Roger Manley will guide members through this exhibition during the preview.

Friends of the Gregg are encouraged to join the public for the opening reception that begins promptly following the members preview. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kristin Hartzell at greggmembership@ncsu.edu
