Fashion in Art Tour

Explore how clothing in art tells stories of identity, culture, and status in this guided tour through the museum. A highlight is a modern replica of a 16th-century Italian dress, created by Autumn West ’27 during a Museum and Heritage Studies internship. Dress to express! Whether you choose a costume inspired by your favorite era or simply want to show off your personal style, fashionable attire is encouraged. Come early to pose for selfies in the colorful, expressive exhibition The Audacity of Paint. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Fashionable bites will be served. FREE and open to the public.
