Surprise! The New Curator’s Surprise Finds in the Collection
<p>Surprise! The New Curator’s Surprise Finds in the Collection<br><br><br><br>In July 2023, Julia Jessen joined the CRMA staff as Curator of Collections and Exhibitions. While change can be challenging, it can also be exciting. A new curator means a new set of eyes on the collection and a new batch of ideas—in short, a new vision. One of the first things Jessen was charged with was getting to know the museum’s permanent collection. A museum’s collection is part of its identity, and she wanted to become familiar with the collection right away. This exhibition features some of the finds Jessen discovered while looking through the collection. By sharing those surprises with the public, she allows visitors to see how a curator thinks about and reacts to works in the collection.</p> 2023-09-22 16:00:00 -0500

International Speed Friendshipping
<p><strong>Tuesday, October 3, 4:00 pm </strong></p><p><strong>Location: Assembly Room</strong></p><p>In honor of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, celebrated each year on October 1, ICSC will host an afternoon of speed "friendshipping" with an emphasis on making international connections. Everyone is welcome, and we’re extending a special invitation to those who were born outside of the United States or lived abroad for a number of years. Using a speed dating format (but for making friends rather than dating), participants will have a chance to meet and chat with community members, have some fun, and maybe even take the first step in creating new and lasting friendships. The event will start with a group icebreaker activity, shift to timed 1:1 conversations, and wrap up with open socializing and refreshments. </p> 2023-09-08 17:00:00 -0500
