Join Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection, Ogden Museum, for a guided tour of newly opened Vicinal Visions: Dusti Bongé, Ida Kohlmeyer and Dorothy Hood, exploring the work of these three Southern women whose abstract practices reimagine place, memory and identity through color, gesture and form. Sumrall writes, “Though each of these Southern artists developed their own distinct visual language, their work shares a spirit of experimentation and modernist sensibilities, refracted through individual lenses of personal experience and place.”

Free with Museum admission.
