COMING IN FEBRUARY
Black History Month: Featuring Permanent Collection by Thomas Gibbons, Feb. 4–6. Soon after African American businessman Sterling North becomes the new director of the Morris Foundation, he discovers that this world-famous art collection includes several significant African sculptures tucked away in storage. His proposal to add them to the public galleries is opposed by the foundation’s long-time education director, who is loyal to the idiosyncratic wishes of the late Dr. Morris. Tickets are available at bit.ly/Permanent-Collection-Feb22.
