So much art, so little time! Join us for this 15-minute lunchtime program, where a member of our Education staff will facilitate a brief, interactive conversation focused on “hidden gems” from our collection. We know that not all pieces take center stage, so this is your opportunity to become more deeply acquainted with the collection. Take a brief moment during your lunch break to engage with others in a relaxed, interactive discussion to explore new perspectives on a piece you might not have engaged with previously. After our brief conversation, participants can explore other works in the galleries or enjoy lunch at Ivan’s Café. Participants of this program will receive a 10% discount on their order. All are welcome.
