Participate in a broad range of programs designed to deepen understanding and engagement with the works of art on view, focused on interactive experiences around contemporary culture.

These programs include tours and talks with curators, artists, and scholars; performances in adjacent media such as music, dance, theater, and experimental forms; artist-led community events; and classes to build skills in creating and understanding art while engaging with artists and peers.

Care and Connection

Join us for Care & Connection, an access program designed to provide a welcoming and engaging museum experience for visitors living with memory loss, and their care partners.

Access Specialist Holly Lapine will facilitate a meaningful conversation with all participants inspired by the artwork on view in the Museum’s galleries, with memories and personal connections taking center stage. Take a break from the everyday and join us as we care for each other through art, music, and poetry.
