Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts is partnering with Poco Vino Wine Bar and Market to present a new exhibition series merging the cocktail hour experience and an artist lecture exploring art, culture, history and heritage.

“MoFA Uncorked: Deep Roots” will highlight FSU Department of Art faculty member Lilian Garcia-Roig, Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor, and Anjali Austin, chair of the School of Dance from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, May 17, at the Museum of Fine Arts located at 530 W. Call St.

“MoFA is thrilled to be exhibiting these two projects and kicking off summer with a fun event,” said Meredith Lynn, interim director of MoFA. “The museum is a great place to go for a good conversation, and we look forward to bringing people together to learn, socialize and celebrate two of our most distinguished faculty members.”

Garcia-Roig will discuss her work “Plein-Aired Histories,” a series of landscape paintings created during her residency as the recipient of the Blackwell Prize exploring the complicated history of a rural Georgia town. She will discuss her creative process and the research and methodology behind the pieces.
