Ornament & Identity: From Tiffany Studios to Tattoo Studios

Thursday, Mar 5, 2026 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
50 E. Erie, Murphy Auditorium, Chicago, IL 60611

Join us for a conversation with tattoo artist Beth Mintzer @lampladytattoos and Elizabeth McGoey, Ann S. and Samuel M. Mencoff Curator, Arts of the Americas at the Art Institute of Chicago. Together, they’ll explore the legacy of Tiffany lamps from decorative art icons to contemporary tattoo inspiration.


Beth Mintzer will also be guesting at Dwelling Tattoo on 3/3 & 3/4 and has created special tattoo designs inspired by lamps from our current exhibition, Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade. Visit www.bethmintzer.com for more info!


Not ready for the real thing? We’re also selling temporary Tiffany tattoos designed by the artist; visit the Museum Store in person to shop.
