Katonah Museum of Art: Textile Artist Bisa Butler
Tuesday, September 15, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Through her luminous, multi-layered works, Bisa Butler chronicles African American history—stories that have too often been ignored and unrecorded. The Katonah Museum of Art is proud to host her first solo museum exhibition, in which she broaches the dividing line between creating with paints on canvas and creating with fiber by fashioning magnificent quilts and elevating a medium some designate as craft into one that is clearly high art. In this virtual conversation, we'll learn about Butler, her influences and how narrative and identity inform her works. Led by Bonni Snyder, docent, Katonah Museum of Art

Despite a number of suspects, including the Mafia and the Irish Republican Army, the robbery remains unsolved after 30 years and the thieves are still at large. Join us for what promises to be a most riveting chapter in the art world, including details from our presenter’s upcoming book, Stealing Rembrandts. Led by internationally recognized security expert Anthony Amore, Gardner Museum Director of Security.
