7/7/2016 | Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site | Kansas City, MO
Come see the unveiling of a never-before exhibited original oil painting by Thomas Hart Benton. A number of artifacts that are normally not on exhibit will be taken out of archival storage to be temporarily displayed in the Benton’s dining room. An arrangement of similar objects and flowers will be staged in Benton’s studio, and visitors will be encouraged to create their own version of the new still-life with colored pencil on paper. A large, framed color photo of the interior of the studio will be raffled off by the Friends of the Benton Home. Finally, there will be a photo booth with a life-size cutout of Tom Benton; guests can tag their pictures at #UnseenBenton.
The Friends of the Benton Home will provide light refreshments in the visitor center.
Event time: 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m.
