The Gregg Museum is now the repository of nearly four hundred fans in the Smith Collection gathered from every inhabited continent. |
| Thursday, June 17, 4pm Registration Required | Virtual Guided Tour of Animate Earth Adventures in Mimetolithia led by Gregg staff. Join this virtual tour via Zoom, where attendees “walk through” exhibitions at the museum. In the deserts of the Southwest, Nasisse photographs amazing landforms that resemble ghosts, ancient statues, or remnants of lost civilizations. In his studio, he makes ceramics that straddle the boundary between accidental and intentional, creating figures that seem to emerge from the clay on their own. All the while he engages with what is probably the most basic impulse of the human imagination: the tendency to “see things in things” through his heightened sense of pareidolia. Registration is required (Note: It is also possible to visit the museum in person, Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm). |
| Thursday, June 24, 10am Registration will be required. | Socially distanced Yoga in the Garden. Bring a mat and mask, participation is FREE. Space is limited due to distancing regulations, and registration is required. |
