Thursday Evenings at PMoA

Polk Museum of Art is trying something new for the next couple of months. On Thursday evenings, they’re going to stay open until 8pm so that more people will have a chance to see the really crazy cool exhibition of Gregory Barsamian’s artwork. The best part is that Museum members will be able to see the exhibition for free from 5-8 on those nights, and these hours will be in effect until June 4.

Beyond that, they’re also planning what sounds like a potentially cool program for the night of April 16. Florida Southern College Department of Psychology faculty and students will be conducting a discussion of what actually happens in your brain when you’re looking at Barsamians work. Apparently, it isn’t as simple as seeing movement; there are some interesting processes taking place to allow you to interpret what’s happening. Florida Southern students will be admitted FREE for this program. It starts at 6:30pm and should only last about an hour.
