Enjoy a guided tour at Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) led by Professor Val Franco. We will walk through the Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver Exhibition. A pioneer of Surrealism, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) conjures vivid, otherworldly landscapes populated with fantastical creatures inspired by folklore, mysticism, the occult, and her own dramatic autobiography. Spanning fifty years of Carrington’s career, this exhibition celebrates her creative and technical versatility with more than thirty rarely seen artworks, generously loaned from private collections. By turns illuminating and enigmatic, Carrington’s work explores the dream-like worlds of the unconscious, probing the intimate workings of the imagination in ways that still resonate today.
Museum Entrance for the first 10 people who arrive at KMA will be paid for NYSCA, others are welcome to join and pay their own way.
Tour is 1.5 hour long but feel free to wander around the museum after the tour. Registration is required.
