September Alliance Luncheon: Dr. Robert La France and Ann Johnson

Dr. La France will share museum updates and announce special exhibitions for the year. Ann will read from her recently published memoir Finding Fogg.

While Ann Johnson is well known in art circles across the United States and abroad, many people may not fully appreciate the breadth of her life and accomplishments. She has led an extraordinary life, both personally and professionally, marked by a journey most people could only imagine. 

Her book, Finding Fogg, is more than a memoir—it is a reflection on a lifetime of creativity, resilience, and reinvention. With humor and honesty, Ann shares the story of a Hoosier girl who transformed dryer lint into a globally recognized artistic legacy.

If you’d like Ann to sign a copy of her book, know that a limited number of copies are available for purchase at the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center or check your favorite bookstore.



The deadline to register is September 8th, 2026.
