Arts Council organizes bus
trip to Nasher Museum
A chartered bus will transport Wilson patrons to the Nasher Museum of Art in Durham on Thursday, November 5, to view the “Picassand the Allure of Language exhibit”. The cost of the trip is $35 for Arts Council Contributors and $40 for non contributors.
Pablo Picasso’s abstract paintings and sculptures made him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. But a new exhibition makes the case that there’s more to learn about him – surprisingly, how the written word influenced his very visual art.
Yale University Art Gallery curator Susan Fisher has selected about 60 works in all media, along with photographs, letters, manuscripts and book projects by the writers and artists in Picasso’s circle, covering his life from age 19 to four years before he died at age 91 in 1969.
Bus tour from Wilson will leave precisely at 9:30a.m. from the parking lot of the bus station on Goldsboro Street. Parking is available. There is room for 30 people to have lunch in a beautiful private dining room, then have a docent led tour. The group will return at 4:30pm.
Ticket prices are $35 for Arts Council contributors and $40 for non contributors. This price includes transportation, entrance and tour. Lunch will be paid individually on the day of the tour. Deadline to sign up is October 8, 2009. Call the Arts Council at (252) 291-4329 to reserve your seat today!
