The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

This workshop is open to all alumni of Camp Aldrich Class of ‘24. Led by Camp Teaching Artist Robby Herbst, this two-hour workshop revisits the Atrium gallery to examine the work of Miles Huston who addresses themes of farming and Americana. Students will then return to the Studio to create their own work of art inspired by the exhibition.

Join us for a special evening featuring a talk led by Kristen Cusato, Director of Communications and Research Champion from the Alzheimer's Association. Kristen will highlight the role that art and music play for those with dementia and their care partners.

Join Albers Foundation Education Director Fritz Horstman for a hands-on workshop exploring some of the topics in his new book Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers's Color Experiments. Using Color-aid paper, participants will engage with color relativity, the illusion of transparency, and other color phenomena featured in Josef Albers's seminal Interaction of Color, to which Horstman's book is a companion.

The community is invited to join us for a free afternoon at The Aldrich to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated campus and Sculpture Garden!
