July 2, 2014
Richard Buckner LIVE!
Thursday, July 10
Happy Hour at 7:00 p.m.
Concert at 8:00 p.m.
The CMA, in collaboration with The Whig, hosts a concert by critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Richard Buckner. The performance will be an evening to remember as Buckner plays selections from his latest release, Surrounded, as well as other material.
“Buckner remains one of the most intriguing songwriters working, using a style that’s more likely to show up in anthologies of 20th-century literature than in other Merge Records liner notes.”
– Pitchfork
$12 / $10 for members. Cash bar. Galleries open during happy hour

Summer is for family fun at the CMA
Take a break from the summer heat and have some family fun! Our interactive family programs offer parents and children the opportunity to explore the many aspects of art and culture together. Join us for Passport to Art to create your own studio project and explore the galleries. For the younger crowd, Gladys’ Gang gathers each month so 2-5 year-olds can explore art through the introduction of elementary terms, a story time, and a creative project. Want your kids to learn even more? Our week-long Summer Camps are a great way for your kids to think creatively, practice their problem solving skills, and have fun. Available for ages 4-18.
