  Michelle Cano, FWMoA Maintenance Assistant, has kept the Museum in tip-top shape, rain or shine (or snow!), for 15 years. Her current favorite? A work from the recently closed Century of Making Meaning: 100 Years of Collecting by Australian artist Meggs.
  Meggs, Australian, b. 1978. People in Glass Houses. Acrylic and aerosol on birchwood panel, 2017. Museum purchase, 2017.49. Image courtesy of FWMoA.
  A: Originally, the size! In Juxtaposed (2017), the artist painted it on a moving wall. An installation, meaning the work existed only for the run of the exhibition, the Museum purchased a smaller version following the close of the show.
  A: I would have that painted on one of my walls, for sure. The colors and flowers have a dreamy feeling, while also feeling mysterious.
  Visit FWMoA this weekend to see our current installation artworks by multiple artists in The Art of the Skateboard, curated by FWMoA Curator of Contemporary Art Josef Zimmerman. Ken Harman of Hashimoto Contemporary co-curated Inclusive: Highlighting Emerging Underground Skaters and Artists.
