Upcoming Programs

February 21, 2015 ǀ Conserving Culture

Why is it important to conserve objects, and how do conservators go about that task? To answer these questions, we’ll be taking a look at the philosophy, art, and science behind conservation. Designed to address visual art and science standards, this workshop will explore the meanings that we attach to our “stuff” and the ways in which we preserve it.

April 18, 2015 ǀ Science of the Circus

Together with the outstanding education department at The Circus Arts Conservatory, we will spend this workshop experimenting with the scientific concepts that give circus acts their wow factor. This fun and captivating look at circus artistry will connect with standards in science.

June 6, 2015 ǀ Classicism in the Courtyard

Surround yourself with classical sculpture during this workshop, which will focus on the magnificent bronzes that fill the courtyard of the Museum of Art. Learn about the techniques used to cast copies of ancient sculptures and the reasons why collectors like John Ringling sought them out. This session will address standards in visual art.
