Agents of Care Opening Celebration
August 18, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
Celebrate the opening of Agents of Care: A Collections Transparency Project with a (portrait of) Elsie Palmer inspired garden party. Located in newly transformed galleries at the FAC, Agents of Care highlights the often unseen, behind-the-scenes collections-based work of the museum.
Agents of Care kicks off with an investigation into the exciting and sometimes unexpected lives of artworks including the Portrait of Miss Elsie Palmer, or A Lady in White by John Singer Sargent. Enjoy light refreshments, lawn games, create your own expressions of care to send to loved ones, and more at this free event.
Creative garden party looks are encouraged!
