I guess it’s true when they say, “time flies when you’re having fun.”
Signs of Summer

On Monday, we all took time out of our busy schedules to pause, celebrate, and thank the hard work of our beloved Museum volunteers during gatherings in the Sculpture Garden and on the rooftop at the Velveteen Plum.

Woodson Art Museum staff make their way to the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum in Neenah to see Molten: 30 Years of American Glass, which debuted at the Woodson Art Museum in spring 2022, and will be on view at the Bergstrom-Mahler from May 31 – August 11. The exhibition features fifty plus artworks from the Woodson’s permanent collection.

On the first Thursday of each month, the Museum offers extended hours for visitors to get the chance to explore the galleries and grounds. First Thursdays in the summer are even more special because they include Sculpture Garden Yoga, a beginner-friendly class taught by instructors from 5 Koshas Yoga and Wellness. I began participating in these classes last summer. Who doesn’t like a little after-work zen?
