#MAGCaptionThis

April 29–May 29, 2016

Lockhart Gallery

Art is social. Art is conversational. Let’s tell stories…

#MAGcaptionthis features a small selection of rarely-seen paintings from our permanent collection, but the true content of the exhibition will be produced by visitors. The concept is internet-era expansive; #MAGcaptionthis will continue to grow as visitors use their knowledge, wit, insight, and humor to caption and share our paintings through social media.

Whether it’s a “girl walks into a bar” joke, or a rumination on the alienation of modern urban living, the decision is yours. All voices are welcome.
