Each year, NUMU offers a series of studio visits where we will be able to appreciate art together exclusively for Circle Members. We’re thrilled to welcome our circle members to the studio of artist Kiana Honarmand, one of the artists from NUMU’s 2023 exhibition (Un)familiar. Event details and exact location will be emailed to guests who RSVP.
This event will include our annual Director’s Circle artwork distribution! Director’s Circle members enable NUMU to expand its reach within the community as a place where active and imaginative minds can flourish. In appreciation, each year, Director’s Circle Members receive a limited edition artwork by a Bay Area artist, commissioned specifically for them. We are proud to announce Kiana Honarmand as our 2023 Director’s Circle artist.
Circle members will join us for an exhibition preview of Grow! with curator Marianne McGrath at Palo Alto Art Center, lunch, studio visits at Cubberly Artists Studios with artists Kiana Honarmand, Nasim Moghadam, and Cynthia Brannvall, and a visit to Pamela Walsh Gallery.
Join or renew today to take advantage of this new series, along with other circle benefits. For questions regarding membership in the Curator’s or Director's Circle email membership@numulosgatos.org. See you in the studios!
*Current NUMU Circle Members will receive an email invitation with all event details and a RSVP link
