SUMMARY:The Art of Architecture with Director Kelly Baum
DESCRIPTION:In appreciation of your commitment to the Des Moines Art Center\, we are excited to invite Director’s Circle members and special guests to an exclusive event with Kelly Baum\, John and Mary Pappajohn Director and CEO\, on “The Art of Architecture.” \nJoin Kelly for a discussion about the unique role architecture plays in museums like the Art Center. Great buildings are more than neutral containers: they are theatrical stages that bring drama to the experience of art. Nowhere is this more true than in the Art Center’s magnificent I. M. Pei building. At this event\, Kelly will preview her 2027 exhibition with artist Hugh Hayden\, a project inspired by the sculptural architecture of the Pei wing\, which has served as a muse to artists and curators since it opened in 1968. \nFollowing Kelly’s presentation\, mingle with fellow Art Center patrons and enjoy lite bites and drinks in the Bookey Family Courtyard. \nPlease register using the button below to send your RSVP to Karly Rehman\, Manager of Membership and Development at membership@desmoinesartcenter.org. Registration is requested by April 29. \nI. M.
