Inside the Frame: The Art That Shaped Me

A rare insight into the personal perspective of our CEO, Tabitha Schmidt — a lifelong student of art whose career has been shaped by museums, universities, and cultural institutions across the country.

Guided by a visual presentation and designed to encourage reflection and conversation, this Society Social invites members to step inside Tabitha’s perspective and engage with her in a way few ever get to — personally, thoughtfully, and in community.

Includes two drink tickets and chef-inspired food stations.

Moving a Museum: Inside the Curatorial Process

When a museum moves, much of the most important work happens out of public view—and long before the first object leaves the building. This exclusive Nova Society gathering offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Curatorial work taking place during the Museum’s closure, focused on the careful planning, assessment, and preparation required to steward the collection through a period of transition.

Includes two drink tickets and chef-inspired food stations.
