Blanton Museum of Art Director’s Circle Banquet Corporate Event Photography

We photographed the Blanton Museum of Art Director’s Circle event on the UT campus to unveil Curiouser, a new exhibition by New York Armenian artist Nina Katchadourian.

The exhibition itself offered food, music, access to the museum’s exhibits and fun for all.

Guests gathered beneath arched blue-and-white walls with purple and orange event lighting, facing stage speakers at the right.
