Dangerous Beauty opening reception
11 November 2014
The Hunt Institute was delighted to welcome guests to the opening reception for our fall exhibition, Dangerous Beauty: Thorns, Spines and Prickles, on 18 September 2014. In attendance were botanical artist Jeni Neale, whose watercolor of Rubus Linnaeus was included in the exhibition, a number of Hunt Institute Associates, friends and former staff members, and many first-time visitors. Assistant Curator of Art Carrie Roy gave a short introduction to the exhibition in the gallery. It was a well-attended event, and we enjoyed spending time with everyone. The exhibition runs through 18 December.
