Then, we will move to the Museum’s Studio to create our very own fabric collages!

Join us for a special fabric workshop led by artist Hangama Amiri. Participants will learn directly from Amiri about her work and practice, while reflecting and sharing their own ideas of home, whether it is a place, a person, a dish, a scent, or an object. Amiri will lead the group through a process of developing ideas into drawings and further into a textile piece to take back home.

Members, join former Exhibitions Director Richard Klein for a tour of his final Aldrich exhibition, Prima Materia: The Periodic Table in Contemporary Art, followed by drinks in the Atrium.

Explore our new exhibitions on view including Kathleen Ryan: Head and Heart, Prima Materia: The Periodic Table in Contemporary Art, and Hangama Amiri: An Homage to Home during Aldrich After Hours! Take short exhibition tour while enjoying a drink during our bi-monthly social gathering.
