"Where Ends Meet: A Retrospective of Works of Nancy Ravenhall Johnson" was very entertaining.
This was my first exposure to her art.
 She died from Cancer in December of 2013.
She was so versatile, I loved her creativity.
From 1987 to 2012 she worked for the Bowers starting as the Gallery Store Manager and moving up in positions to Director of Creative Design.
A must see event was "The 1968 Exhibit," a traveling show from the Minnesota Historical Society, in partnership with the Atlanta History Center, the Chicago History Museum and the Oakland Museum of California.
A state-of-the-art, multimedia exhibit that reviews the pivotal year that striped American youth of its  optimism fostering the 70's, a decade of "Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll."  For me, it was less of a history lesson and more of a walk down memory lane.
