Join us and enjoy a glass of wine as you tour the exhibition with The Center’s curators and gallery guides.

Featuring a selection of early animation cels from the collection of Jay and Gretchen Basen, this exhibition considers the history of animation, from its roots in 18th and 19th century magic lantern shows to its impact on contemporary artists.

On July 2, Artist Shelley Jordon will speak about her hand-drawn animated films and their connection to her painting and drawing practices.
