FRAMINGHAM – The Danforth Art Museum is hosting a creative evening featuring Sally Brecher’s Glass Houses, currently on view at the Framingham museum on Friday, February 18.

The museum said the photographic exhibit provided just the inspiration for this pairing of fun art making and cool, refreshing beverages.

Using a prepared cyanotype print, you will add creative details to construct your own interpretation of a ‘Glass House’, leaving with a unique and finished piece of artwork.

No experience necessary, all materials are provided. 

Complimentary assortment of cheese, crackers, meat and fruit will be served, generously provided by Wegmans.

Cash bar available to those over 21.

A photographic still life tells a story through objects and in Sally Brecher’s Glass Houses, each house tells a different tale of the pandemic experience. 

“Over the past year and a half our physical world shrank, and the objects in our homes moved into sharper focus.  Brecher’s assemblages are intentionally small.  She limited her constructions to objects that could fit into 3” square glass containers, which serve as a symbol of confinement.  At the same time, her houses are transparent, perhaps mirroring the way we were all pointedly aware of the presence of those isolating in our homes with us,” wrote the Museum.

The Danforth is pleased to have Glass Houses on loan to the Museum where they can be shown in conversation with still life and assemblage from the permanent collection.
