Art Emergency: Sendak Edition
Join us for Art Emergency: Sendak Edition, a play that investigates what inspired Maurice Sendak to create all of the art found in Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak.
In the play, two actors playing museum staff members can’t agree on what inspired Sendak the most and need your help. Meet them in Sharp Auditorium in the Hamilton Building to hear the stories and secrets behind Sendak’s life and art. The staffers will present their findings and you'll get the opportunity to vote on what you believe was most inspiring to him.
Tickets do not include entry into the exhibition. Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak is on view through February 17, 2025.
