AHUGA will be taking a trip to the Purcell-Cutts House for a Holiday Traditions tour.
The event is free for art history students. “Celebrate the season with special tours
of the Prairie School-style house, designed by William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie.
The house will be decorated for the holidays to reflect the upper-middle-class, "progressive" lifestyle
of the Purcells around 1915. Forty-five minute tours led by costumed docents will emphasize
the gifts, toys, food, and social traditions of the period.” 2328 Lake Place, Minneapolis.

DESIGN AND ITS PUBLICS: CURATORS, CRITICS AND HISTORIANS

A two-day symposium featuring architectural critics and historians, curators and museum directors, will examine the significance of Minneapolis' new public architecture within the larger sphere of a global architectural culture and the role of critical writing and mass media in shaping this culture. It will also explore how public perception of design and architecture is shaped through curatorial and acquisitions strategies, exhibit designs, and museum education programs. The event is co-organized by The Department of Art History and the College of Design. More details to come.
