The Davis Museum at Wellesley College has a full slate scheduled for the cultural institution’s big re-opening on February 13. There are events for everyone from the educated art lover to the casual enjoyer, to families with kids in strollers. Here’s what’s on the schedule:

Spring Opening Celebration

Tuesday, February 13
5:30pm – 9:00pm

5:30pm Keynote Lecture
“The Poetry of the Everyday: Clarence H. White and the Creation of American Art Photography, 1895-1925”
Collins Cinema

Clarence White, photographer — In her keynote lecture, “The Poetry of the Everyday: Clarence H. White and the Creation of American Art Photography, 1895-1925,” Anne McCauley, David Hunter McAlpin Professor of the History of Photography and Modern Art, Princeton University, and curator of the exhibition, Clarence H. White and His World, will trace how a young man from Newark, Ohio, taught himself photography and within five years was exhibiting in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and elsewhere. White’s melding of the ideals of Arts and Crafts movement and American socialism with the new demands of advertising and magazine illustration resulted in innovative compositions that defined what “modernism” in photography would be in the twentieth century.
