Waitlist Sign-Up
River Arts Alliance member Kay Sebring-Roberts Kuhlmann, a historical theatre artist, will host the February 15 artsXchange at MMAM. Fashion Landscape: A Sampler of 19th-century Stage Characters and Their Costumes will introduce participants to seven of Kay’s history-based female characters through script excerpts and period textile arts. Actor/model Lacey Korb will assist her. The program unfolds within view of the Decorative Arts wing of the exhibition currently on view at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth-Century American Landscapes. Participants are encouraged to take a pre-look at that exhibit. We will seek enlarged understanding of how women’s fashion across that century served both functional and decorative roles in Re/Framing the View. Ages 12 and up welcome.
This event is free to attend for members of RAA or MMAM, and included with museum admission for others. (Museum admission is free for students on Thursdays.) Registration is required, and space is limited to 25 attendees per program.
About the artists:
Kay Sebring-Roberts Kuhlmann relocated to Winona from New Mexico in December 2021 and likes the winters just fine. She is emerita faculty (Theatre and Leadership) of New Mexico Military Institute. Kay has been creating and performing historical theatre professionally for 35 years.
Lacey Korb is active in both her hometown Fountain City River Players and Winona’s Theatre du Mississippi. She enjoys working at MMAM on an as-needed basis. Seasonally, Lacey performs original ghost walk tours, downtown and at the cemetery, for small groups formed through Winona County History Center.
About artsXchange:
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum + River Arts Alliance are coming together to bring you a monthly informal artist exchange – a chance for artists and creatives from across a variety of mediums to gather for inspiration, exploration and exchange at the museum. Each month, a member from River Arts Alliance, a nonprofit that supports and celebrates regional arts and culture, hosts a 90-minute artist meet-up and conversation with an artist, maker, designer, writer, or another creative person.
