Jillian Mcdonald: Alone Together in the Dark, video exhibition
Also open: I’m Keeping an Eye on You, video exhibition; historic art in the Americas Gallery
While you’re here:
Mel Chin’s Fundred Dollar Bill project will be set up in the museum lobby. Plan to spend a few minutes creating your own fake hundred dollar bill, a.k.a., a “fundred”, to donate to the project. It’s free and doesn’t take long to do – your art contribution will help petition the government to make New Orleans a lead-safe city, hopefully the first of many to be so. All materials will be available in the museum’s lobby for you to use. Donated Fundreds are planned for the Smithsonian!
*The Museum Store will be open! Get those last minute gifts at our unique and eclectic store!*
Plus – we’re doing a few STORE GIVE-AWAYs!
Make sure you drop in a business card when you get here – we’re drawing for some fun prizes!
LOTS OF FREE PARKING – literally!
Attendees to this event will be able to park for free in ASU’s Lot 16!
Lot 16 is located in two areas – immediately next to the Ceramics Research Center (CRC) on the southeast corner of Mill Avenue and 10th Street, and between Chili’s Restaurant (at the southeast corner of University and Mill Ave) and the Tempe Center (where Sacks is located).
There is also metered parking available immediately in front of the museum and located along both Mill Avenue and 10th Street. *You will still have to pay for metered parking.*
Please refer to the map for lot location details:
There's LOTS of FREE PARKING for our event!

Recording Studio
In the second week of November, Adam Murray and I transformed my apartment at ASU into a temporary recording studio.
Mattresses formed a sound booth (above) while the bed held instruments (below). We screamed, hissed, moaned, and played auto harp and guitar here. Plus the aforementioned celery snarfing.
We set up a nice little work station (above) while the rest of the room was a mess (below).
Sometimes we played nice (above), sometimes we argued over my “illegible” notes (below), and sometimes technology was not our friend (way below).
