One Night Stand: Mr. Imagination

Join Intuit on the last Wednesday of the month for One Night Stand, a free series of art talks that focus on individual works of art from the museum’s collection and exhibitions. This month, arts educator Imani Parkinson will engage attendees in a conversation about self-taught artist Gregory Warmack, or Mr. Imagination, and his piece Untitled (Totem).
