Family Day this month is a special collaboration between the Georgia Museum of Art and UGA’s Special Collections Libraries that celebrates local artist Art Rosenbaum. We’ll explore the history and music of the McIntosh County Shouters, the subject of a painting by Rosenbaum at the museum. And we’ll look at Georgia’s political history in Rosenbaum’s mural “Doors” created for the ​Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies.
