Kauffman Museum invites you to join us on August 30 at 3 p.m. as we celebrate the opening of our new special exhibit, Piece / Work: The Art of Mary Lou Goertzen, which takes as its focus an iconic Mennonite artist whose work spanned the deeply personal and broadly commercial.

The opening will begin with a presentation by exhibit curator Dr. Rachel Epp Buller, professor of visual arts and design at Bethel College:

Piecing Stories Together

Throughout her long life, Mary Lou Goertzen turned to different art forms as a way to tell stories–about herself, her surroundings, and her family and friends. In this presentation, Dr. Rachel Epp Buller will give a curatorial overview of Goertzen’s processes, artistic motivations, and unexpected commercial success.

Refreshments will be served.

We look forward to seeing you at the opening!

Piece / Work: The Art of Mary Lou Goertzen and its associated programming are sponsored in part by the State of Kansas through the Kansas Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
