We have extended our hours this holiday season to offer more opportunities for visitors to explore the collection and Mickalene Thomas: All About Love, the only East Coast presentation of the first major international tour focused on the work of pioneering American artist Mickalene Thomas, sais Thom Collins, Neubauer Family executive director and president. The holidays are a special time for reconnecting with friends and family, and what better way than through meaningful, shared experiences with art?
