Ellen Noël Art Museum wants your ‘awkward family photos’ for exhibition

Every family has them, and now, the Ellen Noël Art Museum wants yours for its March 21 through June 2 “Awkward Family Photos: The Exhibition.”

In a traveling exhibition that opened to record attendance at the Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wis. in 2012, Awkward Family Photos: The Exhibition now comes to the Ellen Noël Art Museum. The museum said it celebrates “the perfectly imperfect moments that come with the family experience,” while providing a place for people to take comfort in the fact that their family is not alone.

Remember the photo where the baby’s arm is about to get nibbled on by a horse? Or how about the ones capturing your son’s Mohawk haircut phase or adorable daughter’s diabolical grin? The museum wants them all, and encourages families to send the photos in by June 2 for a spotlight at the museum and possible social media fame.

The collection of photos in the exhibition features more than 200 awkward family photos arranged in vintage, era-appropriate frames and hilarious ‘behind the awkwardness’ stories, according to the museum.

To submit awkward family photos to the museum, send them to marketing@noelartmuseum.org.

The Ellen Noël Art Museum is located at 4919 E. University Blvd. in Odessa. Questions? Contact (432) 550-9696.
