Shameless Society Improv at the Bechtler Thursday, January 8 6:30 PM Get ready to laugh, look, and loosen up your idea of what art should be.

Together we’ll explore the exhibition Assembly Lines: Modernism and Machines through curious questions, and spontaneous fun, proving there’s no single “correct” way to see or interpret a work of art. Whether you’re an art lover, a comedy fan, or just improv-curious, this is your chance to experience the museum like never before.
