Wex members are invited to join us early at 4 PM with early access to the galleries. Then, at 5:30 PM, all are welcome to join Humphries and Godfrey for a conversation in Mershon Auditorium, where they’ll discuss the artist’s process, body of work, and ideas she’s considering in her practice. A free reception is open from 5 to 8 PM in our lower lobby and café.
