The Ogden Museum's Curator of the Collection, Bradley Sumrall, will conduct a gallery talk for the exhibition /’pāpər/: Selections from the Permanent Collection. Ranging from 19th century pastel to contemporary papier-mâché, /’pāpər/ showcases the diversity and depth of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art's collection of paper works.
