Fifteen Minutes...Going on Sixteen November 18, 2007

Top:Even Mr. Warhol himself (aka Anthony Chavez) couldn't miss opening day. Bottom: First time museum visitors Sarah Struck and Nick Easter work on their Warhol-inspired collages.

Andy Warhol said famously that everyone in the future will be famous for fifteen minutes. Today, during the family festival in the new courtyard you'll be able to make Andy Warhol-like collages using cool, vibrant, colorful materials. We'll even frame the finished artwork for you. And if you like what you've created it's going to last for way more than fifteen minutes.  Or, as our Andy Warhol tells us, "Everyone has a chance to be an artist and that's how you get to live forever."
