ArtGrams: Framing Portraits

As part of Arlene Shechet’s Intersections installation, a salon-style display of portraits from the museum’s permanent collection was pulled together. In addition to complementing Shechet’s ceramic works, it turns out this wall is quite photogenic in its own right. Today we highlight a few of our favorite creative shots found in our Instagram feed for this month’s ArtGrams. Share your photos in and around the museum for a chance to be featured on the blog.
