Art for the

The Art Museum is bringing its collections to town through a new project called Art for the Streets. High-quality reproductions of extraordinary artworks from the Museum’s globe-spanning collections now adorn empty storefronts in Palmer Square and the Princeton Shopping Center. This initiative seeks to help sustain the liveliness of Princeton at a time when many forces are challenging small businesses. Residents out for some shopping or a masked stroll now encounter reproductions of works from across the collections, including a beaded African tunic, an Edo-period Japanese print, a sculpture of a Maya god, and a painting by Édouard Manet, among others. Each is accompanied by a link to additional information, so the viewing experience can be educational too.

Widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and the essential use of text in his images, Duane Michals is one of the great photographic innovators of the last century, and his work appears in the virtual exhibition The Eclectic Eye: A Tribute to Duane Wilder. In this live event, rescheduled from an earlier fall date, Michals will lead a candid discussion touching on topics such as metaphysics, personal identity, the nature of memory, photography, and filmmaking, in conversation with Museum Director James Steward.
