Austin art historian Karen Pope, longtime member and supporter of the Neill-Cochran House Museum, invites you to a pre-Fourth of July Happy Hour including George Washington highballs and a breezy, informative illustrated survey of “Great American Images.” A review of familiar national images will leave you with a new appreciation for these works, thanks to less-known backstories about their origins and the resources used by the artists who made them.
Complimentary cocktails will be served for attendees 21 and older. All proceeds support the Neill-Cochran House Museum.
Free parking is available behind the Museum.
