Next Friday, April 3, Polk Museum of Art will do a little thing it calls "Behind the Art." The focus will be on the new Gregory Barsamian exhibition, and the Curator of Art and Exhibits Specialist will show visitors exactly how the artwork works. It's pretty mind-boggling even when you see it.
The talk/demonstration will start at 12:15pm and is free with admission: $10 adults, $8 seniors, $5 Museum members, $4 member seniors, and $2 for students (K-College).

PMoA Offers Spring Break Art Camp
If you’re looking for something educational and artistic to keep the kids occupied over Spring Break, might I suggest Spring Break Art Camp at Polk Museum of Art? Participating children will rotate through three classes: Sculpture, Drawing & Painting, and Performance and Stage Craft. All of the projects will be inspired by the Museum’s Pre-Columbian art collection.
Camp is for children ages 5 - 13 and runs 9:00am - 4:30pm, March 30 - April 3. Tuition is $130 per student for Museum members or $150 per student for non-members. You can register your child by going here, or you can call PMoA at 688-5423.

Exhibition Opening at PMoA This Weekend
This Friday night, Polk Museum of Art will be hosting the opening reception for its newest exhibition, Unbelievable Transformations: Moving Sculptures by Gregory Barsamian. The artist will be talking about his work at 6:00pm and there will be light refreshments and a cash bar starting at 7:00pm. The reception is free for Museum members and $10 for non-members.
I know I’m biased, but I really can not convey in words how cool this exhibition is going to be. Once it’s finally up, I’m going to post some video to give everyone a better idea. In the meantime, here’s a link to a movie of the piece above in action. Keep watching because there’s another piece shown after the halfway mark.
