Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Roger Brown’s Plants That Glo in the Dark Tra-La (1986) in its full glow-in-the-dark glory. The painting is on loan from the Asheville Art Museum for our upcoming exhibition Plants and Power: Art’s Botanical Imagination. This unique painting is the only by Brown to use phosphorescent paint, and it still glows today. Stanley staff will activate it for one night only!

Stop by the Visual Classroom on Thursday, November 12, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm to experience it...

Come for the morning and/or the afternoon!

On Friday, Nov. 13, we will have our annual kozo harvest out at the Oakdale paper research facility! We have a field of kozo to harvest, steam, and peel. You'll learn a lot about processing bark fibers in traditional ways.

We will be harvesting in the morning, from 9:00 a.m., and will then move to the studio to steam the bark and peel the bark before hanging them in bundles on rope. We will finish up at 4:00...

Need a creative break at the end of the week? Swing by the Stanley on Friday afternoons to work on a craft project of your choice.

This week join WOCN in collaboration with the Stanley Museum of Art and UI Special Collections in a beginner-friendly metal arts activity and learn more about Antonia Baafi and her artistry, rooted in storytelling with inspiration drawn from nature, symbolism, African proverbs, and folklore.
