After-hours at the IU Art Museum: "The Artist as Truth-teller"

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 * 6-8 p.m. * IU Art Museum * Dessert Served * SIGN-UP REQUIRED

Over the centuries artists have used their art to meet the challenges of war, race, class, and indifference. In what ways can art help us see our world more clearly, feel it more deeply, move us to reflection, change, or action? What risks have artists faced in telling us the truth? Join us for a special discussion program at the IU Art Museum with education curator Ed Maxedon that will focus on artworks from the Western collection and challenge you to detect how, why, and with what consequences some artists have pushed us to see the world and ourselves differently.

The IU Art Museum’s collections include more than 35,000 objects that represent nearly every art-producing culture throughout history. Maxedon is the Lucienne M. Glaubinger Curator of Education.
