Winter Art Activities
While the Museum is closed from December 24–January 2 along with the rest of KU we invite you to explore other ways to engage with art this season.
Walk a labyrinth at the KU Field Station
Experience here-ing, an environmentally embedded artwork by Janine Antoni. This walking labyrinth in the shape of a human ear is adjacent to the Roth Trailhead on East 1600 Rd at the KU Field Station.
Visit How the Light Gets In at Lawrence Public Library
While our galleries are closed, take the opportunity to experience the second location of the installation How the Light Gets In at Lawrence Public Library. Created in partnership with the KU Center for Digital Inclusion and artist Sarah Newman, it shares the experiences and wisdom of formerly incarcerated women and visitors to the exhibition.
The Library is open regular hours Tuesday, December 27–Saturday, December 31.
