The Phillips Plays with Words and Art

Bring your family to investigate materials, methods, and ideas in art.

In partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in the United States of America join us in celebrating the work of contemporary Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone.

Families will explore One-on-One: Ugo Rondinone / Louis Eilshemius, which connects a contemporary artist and poet with one from the past. Laura J. Frantz, the Poet-in-Chief of the Charlottesville Poem Store (and her vintage typewriter) will help us compose poems about magical places. We will experiment with bringing poetry to life using illustrative techniques, intertwining words and images to create a unique work of art.
