11 a.m. – Look & Listen Storytime: Blanton gallery teachers will lead you and your family through picture book readings connected to works of art. Storytime will inspire close looking, creativity, and curiosity. Recommended for ages 4-8 years old.
11:30 a.m. – Looking Together: Spend time with a small group that wants to share the experience of noticing, wondering, and making meaning. Guided activities may emphasize interpretation, personal connections, creativity or play! Recommended for ages 12 years & up.

2pm – Curator’s Choice: Who am I? (Michener Building)
Potrait of a Gentleman by Simon Vouet has recently been reattributed to another artist, David de Haen. Holly Borham, Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings and European Art, discusses this fascinating recent discovery about our European Collection.
4–8pm – Pop Up Print Exhibition: Figures in Focus (H-E-B Study Room, Michener Building)
Drawing from the Blanton Museum’s growing photography collection, this pop-up exhibition in the H-E-B Study Room will feature modern and contemporary photographs that take the human figure as their central subject. Using a variety of photographic techniques, artists capture the body in a range of settings, from staged portraiture in the photographer’s studio, to interactions with the natural landscape, and in the kaleidoscopic whirl of a carnival ride. These artists illustrate the power of photography to shape perception, identity, and vision itself. Figures in Focus includes works by James Luna, Shirin Neshat, Zanele Muholi, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, and others.
