Harriet Randall Lumis, The Little Red Bush, circa 1915, oil on canvas, 24 × 28 inches. Given in honor of Dorothy Hamill on her birthday, October 12, 2000, 2000.14.21.
This virtual program takes place via Zoom. Scroll down to below images for registration information.
Join Doris Potash, master docent, for a conversation about three artworks in our Collection made by women, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment. Before the discussion, find a quiet space. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Now open your eyes, and engage with the artworks in the image gallery; click on the thumbnail for a larger image, and spend about 15 minutes looking slowly at each.
Each Friday at 12pm while the Museum is closed, docents lead virtual, in-depth conversations about a few artworks in our Collection or special exhibitions. The goal is simple: slow down, discover the joy of looking at art, and talk about the experience with others. Topics, artworks, and self-guided questions are posted on the Museum’s website in advance for participants, or for those wishing to have a self-guided experience on their own. Space is limited; to register up to one week in advance, email Kristi McMillan, director of learning & engagement, or call 828.253.3227 x122.

Part of DDAD Fest 2o2o
Let’s toast to new friends and a successful future for WIB. Our official first meetup! Leave the laptops at home for this one – this is all about meeting new friends and getting to know each other.
Our host – the Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne bar is looking forward to our arrival! They encourage us to take pictures of each other, the space and any of their staff – but please do not take pictures of other patrons.
I will be purchasing a bottle (or so) of champagne to toast our first event as well as a few of their famous boards. Please be prepared to purchase & pay for any additional drinks or food you may like while we are there. Keep in mind that this is a local business and they are letting us in on a normally busy night for them – we want to support them!
Thank you 🙏 and please feel free to message me with any questions.

Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds create an immersive experience born out of the iconic Pop artist’s interest in innovation and experimentation. Warhol collaborated with Bell Labs engineer Billy Klüver to transform the then-new material Scotchpak into an enlivened and interactive work of art. First shown in April 1966 at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City, these air- and helium-filled balloons float like pillows through a space which, combined with their metallic surface, garnered the name Silver Clouds. The clouds notably became part of the design and choreography of Merce Cunningham’s RainForest, which premiered in 1968. Like the dancers in Cunningham’s work, visitors are encouraged to gently interact with the clouds and be inspired by their movement.
