U of A Museum Day is back for its second year! Here's how UAMA and its Archive of Visual Arts are marking the occasion.
Join us for a day on campus, where you can visit nine unique museums and collections bridging the arts and sciences, and immerse yourself in a world of discovery and wonder.
At UAMA, enjoy free admission all day and special programming from 12:00-4:00 p.m. Shop for unique art, wearables, gifts and more at the Student Made Arizona popup market. From 12-2pm, shop for amazing art by artists from ArtWorks. Create collages at the art-making station and make a letterpress postcard, guided by friends from the UA School of Art's Book Art and Letterpress Lab. Finally, explore the galleries with special engagements led by art education students in the course "Museum Education" taught by Dr. Carissa DiCindio.
The Archive of Visual Arts ― which preserves original ephemera of artists, adding depth to an understanding of their practice ― will offer public tours from 12:30-4:00 p.m. Visitors can tour the space, handle archival materials and become more familiar with the collections.
UAMA Members are invited to join us at the AVA at 10:00 a.m. for a special tour with archivist Sara Swayden. Please register here. Not yet a UAMA Member? Learn about the benefits.
