Oglethorpe University Museum of Art + Brunch beforehand

Our July outing is a visit to the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, starting with a brunch nearby.

OUMA Director Elizabeth Peterson-Jennings has organized two interesting and well reviewed current exhibits, including 'French Landscape and the Rise of Modernism' and 'The Core Self: A Multimedia Exhibition'. You can read about them here. OUMA features work of several LGBT artists.
