Opening Reception at AU Museum at Katzen

It's time for another AU Museum at the Katzen Opening Reception! As usual, it looks like a good one, with paintings and photos representing a diverse group of artists! Hope you can join us!

Should be the usual drill. They put out some nice food at 6 pm with a cash bar. We usually socialize from about 6-7 and then head up to the third floor and work our way down. Metered garage parking or bus from metro.

Here are the exhibits:

Beyond Words: The Sacred Art of Ayesha Kamal showcases the work of internationally exhibited contemporary Islamic calligrapher Ayesha Kamal through a remarkable collection of large-scale mixed-media paintings that explore the enduring relationship between faith, artistic expression, and cultural heritage. Drawing upon the rich traditions of Islamic calligraphy, the exhibition reveals how sacred text can be reimagined through a distinctly contemporary artistic vision.
