Forging New Paths: Artwork at Work at Historic Sites

Tuesday, March 29, 10:00 a.m. CT

Rowena Houghton Dasch, Executive Director, Neill-Cochran House Museum

Much as we might wish it to be otherwise, not everyone thinks they are the history museum or historic site "type." Art—whether it be a collaboration or residency or a retrospective exhibition—can create new avenues for visitor attendance and engagement. Learn how the Neill-Cochran House Museum has developed an active calendar of exhibitions and art fairs that draw diverse crowds as well as support Austin's vibrant artist community.
