Join us for Culture & Cocktails, Ogden Museum’s evening series celebrating art, ideas and conversation. This evening features Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection, in conversation with Ligia M. Römer, Ph.D., RA, Executive Director, Dusti Bongé Art Foundation.Begin your night with a private tour of "Vicinal Visions Dusti Bongé, Ida Kohlmeyer & Dorothy Hood" and with curator Bradley Sumrall while enjoying a signature cocktail inspired by its themes. After a quick introduction to Dusti Bongé, Dr. Römer will explore how the art scene of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans has been intertwined for generations. The artists of Dusti’s generation brought a wealth of modern ideas to the region, allowing each to forge individual paths to create diverse bodies of work rooted in place. In Dusti Bongé’s case, the coast was a tremendous influence in her work, extending beyond the visual inspiration to her inner spirit and art. Without any self-conscious or deliberate intent, her work, in all its abstraction, embodies a true sense of place.
