Even with our office moving day scheduled for Monday, things aren't slowing down any here at the museum, and tomorrow (Saturday, March 7), we have two events scheduled, both to take place at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.
From 10 to 11:30 a.m., the museum will be participating in the Botanical Garden's Family Festival, with an activity station at which you can create an animal to take home. Carissa DiCindio, our assistant curator of education, has been working all week on turtles, owls, and other critters, which she and volunteers will help teach you how to make out of everyday objects. Roy Hodge, of Exotic Paradise, Atlanta, will also be on hand at the event to entertain and educate family members with his menagerie of exotic forest animals. Discover amazing facts about cockatoos, exotic parrots, spectacled owls, monitor lizards, anacondas, and boa constrictors. The State Botanical Garden of Georgia is cosponsoring the event, which takes the place of one of the museum's Family Days. Please note that there is a charge of $3 per person or $10 per family; children under two are admitted free.
If you'd like to stick around after the festival, the biennial Patrons' Lecture will be held at 2 p.m., also at the Botanical Garden. Co-hosted by the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art and the Friends of the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, the 2009 lecture will be presented by Kevin Oonk, president of Fräbel Glass, and feature the glass artistry of Hans-Godo Fräbel and the Fräbel Studio. Fräbel was trained as a scientific glassblower at the prestigious Jena Glaswerke in Mainz, West Germany, then settled in Atlanta where in 1968 he founded the Fräbel Studio. The cost is $75 per patron (which includes a commemorative gift from the event), $25 for general admission, and $10 for student admission. Please call 706.542.0437 for more information.
