Artists Visit MoNA Collection

As we all know, an image of artwork never does the work justice. Thus, two Saturdays in June and July, nearly all of the artists in To Be Alone Together were able to make the trip up to La Conner to view the works selected for them in the MoNA collection. Artists studied the works, explored the gallery for ideas on site-specific pieces, and learned more about the collection from MoNA Exhibitions Director Lisa Young. And no trip to La Conner would be complete without stops at the farm stands and ice cream parlors!

Thanks to all the artists who took time out of a precious summer Saturday to join us, and thanks to Lisa for making the collection so accessible.
