Join us for a very special sneak peek and behind the scenes tour of the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum and its multi-million dollar renovation not yet open to the public.

The tour will also include a visit to the sm[ART]box by Doris Sung and TBM Designs. The structure repurposes a 20-foot steel shipping container and uses smart material-based technology that re-invented thermostatic bimetal (tbm) as an exterior building element to respond to solar heat.
