Guest speaker will be Mel Buchanan, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

The current exhibition “Sand, Ash, Heat: Glass at the New Orleans Museum of Art” will be the topic. This exhibition presents the first ever comprehensive look at the museum’s extensive collection of glass objects, ranging from tiny ancient Egyptian amulets to large-scale works of contemporary sculpture.
