"Silhouettes and Conversations with Alexandra Blum, August Artist-in-Residence" by Naomi Huth, Education Intern

Posted by Cynthia Inaba on August 19, 2010

On August 19th, I sat down with current Artist-in-Residence, Alexandra Blum, to learn more about her artistic background and the connection between teaching and creating art. Ms. Blum strives to humanize the private expereince by bringing in different techniques that transform museum going into a shared technique.

(Naomi Huth currently works as an intern for the Public Programs Department at the de Young.)

ME'DI.ATE's Soundwave Festival Finishes Up at the de Young Tonight, August 13

Friday Nights: Cultural Encounters at the de Young is excited to be the host of the closing of ME’DI.ATE’s Soundwave Festival, featuring The Drift.

It will be a special environment August 13 when The Drift takes the stage with an arsenal of instruments including an electric bass, keyboard, trumpet, guitar and drums.
