From Origins to Horizons Extended!
The CAT Museum is delighted to announce that our current exhibition, From Origins to Horizons: The American Studio Glass Movement, originally set to close in October, will now be open through December 2024. “The exhibition has been so popular with visitors that we want to give more people the opportunity to enjoy it, as well as welcome back some of our biggest fans,” explains President and CEO Kathie Baradaran.
Art from the Great Minnesota Get-Together
For most Minnesotans, the State Fair brings to mind fried food on a stick, baby farm animals, carnival games, and live performances. For Gerard Cafesjian, however, the State Fair was a chance to buy artwork from Minnesota artists. As we gear up for the “Great Minnesota Get-Together” at the end of the month, we wanted to shine a light on Gerard’s love of collecting art at the State Fair.
Q&A with the Curator: American Studio Glass at the CAT Museum
Two new exhibitions now open at the Cafesjian Art Trust Museum tell the story of American studio glass from its beginnings through today. In the interview below, Andy Schlauch, the CAT’s executive director and curator of the exhibitions, gives further insight into these exciting projects.
Students and Science and Zebras… Oh My!
If you’ve visited the CAT Museum before, you might know that we have a 25-person maximum for gallery tours. So how did we manage to engage the entire third grade at Island Lake Elementary with our last exhibition, Fooling the Eye? Simple: we brought the museum to them!
