Take a private tour of the History of Photography Gallery with curator Lisa Hostetler and learn how the moon has been a source of artistic inspiration, scientific inquiry, and popular fascination.
Then, artist Sean McFarland, whose work is featured in the current History of Photography Gallery rotation, will teach us how to create lunar-inspired photographs using the Lumen printing process, which was developed in the 19th century as a way to document the natural world.
Coffee and light snacks will be provided.
Limited to 12 participants.
