Sharing is “Blair-ing.” Celebrate our special exhibition, Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic, by joining Cartoon Art Museum Curators Andrew Farago and Shaenon K. Garrity for a behind-the-scenes look at their 2009 special exhibition The Colors of Mary Blair. This 2009 exhibition was presented by Studio Ghibli in Japan and featured some of Blair’s sketchbooks on loan from The Walt Disney Family Museum collection.
Questions can be submitted during the webinar through Zoom's Q&A function. Due to anticipated demand and limited Q&A time, not all submitted questions will be answered.
All participants must sign up here by 5pm PT on Tuesday, September 2. Participants must have a Zoom account to attend the webinar. A link to the webinar and instructions for joining will be sent via email prior to the event.
