Ephemera are items meant to be used temporarily and then usually thrown away, such as cards, advertisements, ticket stubs, etc. As we catalog the Noel Collection, we often find these items tucked away in the books for safe keeping – and then forgotten. Now they can be seen again and the pleasure they once gave experienced anew. We have a selection of them on display along with the books in which they were found. Come and experience our delighted discovery of these remnants of the past.

Now You See Me: Portraiture has long been a cornerstone of American art, evolving from grand oil paintings of colonial aristocracy to intimate photographic studies of everyday life. It has functioned as a mirror of social values-asserting power, legacy, identity, and aspiration. As the cultural landscape of the United States has shifted, so too has the definition of who gets seen, how they are seen, and by whom. The artists included - Vitus Shell, Aron Belka, and Gina Phillips - work in varied mediums and have unique processes, but their work has a common thread; their subjects defy the expected. Rather than portraying traditional icons of wealth or status, the artists depict friends, family, and strangers.

Open: Tuesday-Friday 10:00AM-5:00PM
Saturday 10:00AM-4:00PM

$5.00 Admission to the Museum

The SFA Music Preparatory Division presents a collaborative concert celebrating community, creativity, and musical excellence. Supported by a Rooted in Community grant from the National String Project Consortium and the NAMM Foundation, this project brings together the SFA Youth Orchestra and Strings Project with The Purple Hulls for a unique performance experience.

Born and raised on a working family farm in deep East Texas, identical twins Katy Lou and Penny Lea Clark—known collectively as The Purple Hulls—share an acoustic-driven sound rooted in authenticity, faith, and storytelling. Their musical journey has taken them from Texas to Tennessee and onto stages across the United States and Europe, including work with the Grand Ole Opry and Nashville’s leading music publishers.

This concert offers young string musicians the rare opportunity to collaborate with internationally recognized artists while highlighting the power of music to connect generations, genres, and communities.
