K-State English students create works inspired by the museum’s exhibition

We are thrilled to share that the K-State English students in the First Year Seminar course ENGL 220 created a visual essay inspired by the artworks featured in our current exhibition “Women Artists in the Era of Second Wave Feminism.” Thanks to English Instructor Hunter Scott and Beach Museum Associated Curator of Education Kathrine Schlageck for working with the students.

Beach Ball: incognito

Step up, step out and cut loose at the first annual Beach Ball!
Come “incognito” to the event of the season. Mingle with mimes. Dance with a bear. Eat, drink and be Mary… or John, or whomever you’d like. Come for the art, stay for the music, or the food, the auction or the performers… Any way you cut it, the Beach Ball has it all. Don a mask and cut a rug, Friday, October 13th only at the Beach Museum of Art.

Wanna wear a lampshade, that’s okay. There is no wrong ‘cause it’s all right. Celebrate at the Beach tonight.
Costumes encouraged! ~
