Itinerary

  • Watch art come to life through story, important historical context, and a lot of levity. This is your opportunity to finally ask the u201cdumbu201d questions youu2019ve always wanted to about art, why we study it, and why humans are so drawn to it. We work from the West Building, through to the East, with a little snack break to keep spirits high. At the end, art wonu2019t be this far-away, out-of-reach concept. Instead, it will transform into this digestible, almost empathetic view for the art and its artists.
