Workshops

Chat with artist Andrea Polli about how observing, analyzing, and visualizing data can bring an artist’s eye to issues of conservation and the environment.

How can data visualization and public art become a motivating force in environmental conversations? Part of artist Andrea Polli’s Hack the Grid project.

Build your understanding of architecture as you consider what it takes to make a great social space. Concerts? Soccer? From porches to piazzas, explore public spaces on foot around the museum and in the galleries. Get inspired by creative spaces in Building Optimism: Public Space in South America. Construct an architectural model and work in groups to create a collaborative design.

Conservators are amazing. They can rescue damaged art from the brink of destruction, and their expert care helps prevent fragile works from literally crumbling to dust.
