‘Tis the Season of Full Calendars
Posted on December 02, 2015by Catie Anderson, curator of education
December is that special time of the year when school events, family gatherings, meal planning, travel, and dozens of other non-holiday projects on the to-do list start to drive most of us up the wall.

More Ways than One to Make Magic
Posted on March 12, 2014Last week the Woodson Art Museum hosted Wisconsin magician Lou Lepore as an artist-in-residence.* Lou brought to life theatrical themes of illusion, humor, and deception, which characterize the Museum’s current exhibitions.
