December 11th Theme: Gather & Curate with the Museum!

[Edith Ellis]

*Gather & Curate with the Museum!*

*December 11th Theme: Wearable Art*



Drop-in to The Fishbowl (Myers Building 232, Second Floor) *TODAY,
Thursday, between 11:30–1:30 *to take part in a shared curatorial project
with the Plattsburgh State Art Museum. This participatory event is open to
all students, staff, faculty, and administrators too! It is designed to
create more opportunities for our campus community to learn about, and
contribute to, the public presentation of the museum’s collection. No prior
experience necessary, just bring your curiosity!

*About The Fishbowl:*
This publicly accessible display in the Myers Building also serves as a
teaching classroom for the museum and can be reserved for meetings and
events. During the fall semester, the museum brought more than 150 artworks
out of storage for classes, engaging approximately 550 student visits
across 30 class sessions over the semester.

*What to Expect:*
This is one of four opportunities. Each session will focus on one display
case, ultimately resulting in four collaboratively curated installations. A
selection of artworks arranged by theme will be brought out of storage for
participants to explore, select from, and install for a one-year long
exhibition.

*I Can’t Attend but I Want to Participate*:
Consider highlighting an artwork from The Fishbowl in *Cardinal Points*, as
students and faculty have published in past issues. This opportunity
invites the community to engage with object records and institutional
history, often uncovering surprising and delightful stories.
