The Chrysler Museum of Art, in Norfolk, Virginia, is currently accepting online votes for a community-curated exhibition to be shown in its new Waitzer Community Gallery upon the museum’s grand reopening May 10, 2014. The exhibition will be on display through summer 2014.
Titled By Popular Demand, this people’s-choice exhibit will showcase artworks from the museum’s vaults as a complement to other collections displayed throughout the museum. Individuals can vote once a day for up to 10 works of art through the museum’s website (http://www.chrysler.org/our-collection/bpd). Voting ends February 26, 2014.
Founded in 1939 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, the Chrysler Museum of Art combines one of America's great fine arts museums, two significant historic houses and a Glass Studio, the only one of its kind on the East Coast.
The Chrysler Museum is currently closed for a major expansion and will reopen May 10, 2014. The Moses Myers House and the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio are open. The Glass Studio is open Wednesday through Sunday and is located at 745 Duke Street in Norfolk. To learn more about the Chrysler Museum, visit chrysler.org or call (757) 664-6200.
