Look & Learn
The first Tuesday of every month at 12 & 1 PM, and the fourth Thursday of every month at 6:30 PM.
A slow and mindful approach to art appreciation, this 30-minute exploration of a single artwork is led by experienced docents and enriched with group discussions. Each Look & Learn is different, and no prior art knowledge is required.
Weekday Create
Every Wednesday, 10 – 11:30 AM
