Join us for an Artist Talk with David Politzer on Thursday, March 19 from 5:30-6:30 pm. David’s installation Observation Station: From the Rim, featured in our exhibition, Call of the Colorado Plateau, examines how mobile technology and “selfie culture” alter the ways people experience and document nature. About David: Politzer was born in Washington DC, earned an MFA from Syracuse University and a BS from Skidmore College.

This event will take place during Twilight Thursday, making admission for this program pay-what-you-wish. What is pay-what-you-wish admission? We’ve set aside our admission fees; you can pay whatever you’d like to see the Museum and explore the art, science, and cultures of the Colorado Plateau. We’re able to offer pay-what-you-wish admission for Twilight Thursdays because of the generosity of a Museum donor.
