April 9 - Hello, art lovers! Thanks for checking in for another great week of art news. This week, I am pleased to share photographs and insights from my recent visit to the recently reopened Delta Flight Museum. Tons of interactive elements made this experience fun for not only me but also my daughter and her friend who joined me during my tour on opening day. A highlight of my time at the museum is the large-scale SCADpro mural completed by SCAD student Jennifer Lee.
