We All Work Together: A Virtual Woody Guthrie Center Member Series
What does it take to create an exhibition? Join the Woody Guthrie Center for “We All Work Together,” a special virtual series that takes members behind the scenes of our exhibitions and the collaborative work that brings them to life.
Inspired by Woody Guthrie’s belief in the power of collective action, this three-part virtual series offers an inside look at the creative process behind “A Dozen Loops: The Radical Voice of Woody Guthrie.” Through conversations with staff members, gallery walkthroughs, work samples and live Q&A sessions, participants will discover how ideas become exhibitions and meet the talented team members who make it happen.
Designed especially for members, including those who live outside of Oklahoma, “We All Work Together” provides a unique opportunity to experience the exhibition from anywhere while gaining a deeper appreciation for the research, design, curation and storytelling that shape the Woody Guthrie Center’s exhibits.
Each 60-minute session includes a moderated discussion with a featured staff member, a behind-the-scenes “show and tell” and plenty of time for audience questions.
