Such a wonderful group of writers last night shared their work inspired by Janet Cardiff: Forty-Part Motet for our new Reverberations series. Thanks to Vernon Fowlkes, Thomas Perez, Janet Nodar, Sue Brannan Walker, Lawrence Specker, and special thanks to Kevin Lee @lagniappemobile for guiding the conversation and Henry Perkins for reading an amazing piece by his mother, Danielle Juzan. AND while we are thanking folks, thanks to all who came to listen on this lovely evening exploring this amazing sound sculpture and Mobile artists' interpretations. #janetcardiff #fortypartmotet #reverberations (at Mobile Museum of Art)

We have loved collaborating with our fellow museums in installing this exhibition at the airport. Hopefully it will make waiting for your flight a little less stressful. #Repost @bellingrathgardens ・・・ On your next trip through the Mobile Regional Airport, be sure to take a look at the new display cases about Bellingrath Gardens and Home! The displays are a way to spotlight local museums - other displays are from the @mobmuseumofart, @historymuseumofmobile, @historic_oakleigh and the Mobile Medical Museum.The airport exhibit is an initiative of the Museums of Mobile organization to raise awareness of the multitude of museums available for visitors and residents. #comevisit #museumtour #museum #bringyourfriends (at Mobile Regional Airport)
