How can art call attention to contemporary issues or make a difference in the way we think about or react to each other? Delve into works of art that succinctly express themes of inequity, human rights, and oppression.
Art is shaped by shifting ideas, aesthetics, world views, and personal expression. But what do we do when we are confronted with works of art that are not easily interpreted?
We spend much of our lives going from one building to another, but have we stopped to think about our built environment? Why might we feel comfortable in one place but not in another place?

Do you have a favorite cup for your coffee or a preferred light to read by? Why do these objects fit your lifestyle and surroundings?

Impressionism is an artistic movement familiar to many who find themselves traversing museum galleries. But why?

On Wednesdays, Mindful Museum participants receive early entry into the museum of art at 9 a.m., discounted coffee and pastries at Café Carnegie, and $5 parking. Participants are sent weekly emails about offerings for that week. Printed schedules are available onsite.
What ideas and elements from the classical world have been reinterpreted over time? How do we perceive images from the past through a contemporary lens?
