From a press release sent out this morning by the Sheldon in Lincoln, NE.
Subject: Come to Sheldon's Martini Madness and Exhibition Opening Friday
"Contemporary Art from the Permanent Collection, 1980 to Present" will focus on artworks that have recently entered the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery collection. Please plan to join us for the exhibition opening and the Second Annual Martini Madness reception, Friday, March 3, 5-7 p.m. Great art, free admission, delicious appetizers, stimulating conversation, drawings for dinners at downtown restaurants and a cash bar. Bring a friend, and we’ll see you there.
Let's hope they keep their Gaston Laichaise
, Floating Figure (above right), very well cordoned off during the event. The
combination of museums, martinis, and Midwestern men doesn't tend to produce positive results.
