SUMMARY:Scrapped!: A Century of Stetson In Pages
DESCRIPTION:at Gallery duPont \n\n\n\n\n\nCharlotte Holley\, Curator \n\n\n\nDr. Katya Kudryavtseva\, Faculty Mentor \n\n\n\nReception: March 23 at 5 pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nScrapped! brings together four scrapbooks—crafted in 1916\, 1947\, 1971\, and 2025—by women who attended Stetson University across four generations. More than personal keepsakes\, these scrapbooks serve as rich archival records\, capturing daily life and their evolving roles over the past century. Through photographs\, clippings\, mementos\, and handwritten notes\, visitors will explore how women documented their identities\, relationships\, and activities within and beyond campus life. Together\, they invite us to reconsider what we preserve\, who does the preserving\, and why it matters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored in part by the LaValle Experiential Learning Fund and the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Behind the Scenes Experience: the Vera Bluemner Kouba Collection
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of West Volusia Museum Month\, the public is invited to a unique behind-the-scenes experience. View rare items\, including family heirlooms\, that tell the story of Modernist artist Oscar Bluemner (1867-1938) and his family. And visit museum work spaces as staff catalog and digitize each item. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP: \n\n\n\nName *Email Address *RSVP\n\n\n\n\n\nDonated to Stetson University in 1997 by Vera Bluemner Kouba\, the artist’s daughter\, the collection is composed of over 1\,000 works of art and an accompanying assortment of documents\, personal items\, and books\, as well as artwork by artists Bluemner admired. While Bluemner’s own artwork was catalogued in the late 90’s and early 2000s\, with an increasing amount available for online view via our museum database\, family items are only now being processed. This means there is a lot to learn and many exciting mysteries to unlock\, including more information about Vera and her passion for music and the arts. \n\n\n\n\nTo view additional Museum Month events in Volusia County\, go to visitwestvolusia.com
