About the Program
River Arts Alliance member Kay Sebring-Roberts Kuhlmann, a historical theatre artist, will host the January 18 artsXchange at MMAM. Fashion Landscape: A Sampler of 19th-century Stage Characters and Their Costumes will introduce participants to seven of Kay’s history-based female characters through script excerpts and period textile arts. Actor/model Lacey Korb will assist her. The program unfolds within view of the Decorative Arts wing of the exhibition currently on view at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth-Century American Landscapes. Participants are encouraged to take a pre-look at that exhibit. We will seek enlarged understanding of how women’s fashion across that century served both functional and decorative roles in Re/Framing the View. Ages 12 and up welcome.

About artsXchange
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum + River Arts Alliance are coming together to bring you a monthly informal artist exchange - a chance for artists and creatives from across a variety of mediums to gather for inspiration, exploration and exchange at the museum. Each month, a member from River Arts Alliance, a nonprofit that supports and celebrates regional arts and culture, hosts a 90-minute artist meet-up and conversation with an artist, maker, designer, writer, or another creative person.
The event will begin by gathering in the atrium at MMAM and meeting their artist host. The group will then a take a short inspirational tour of the museum (identifying a couple of signature pieces to spark conversation, chosen by your artist guide), and continue with a meet-up in the Oberton Education Room for inspiring conversation that ranges from anything from technique, to who’s making what, to sales strategies, and other opportunities.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
