Connecting Through Art is a gallery-focused participatory program for adults 55+ to visit the Art Center and participate in guided group art-viewing exercises and shared interpretive experiences. Advance registration is required, and the group size will be capped at 16 attendees. During each monthly meet-up, guests engage with a work of art in the museum through a facilitated activity to prompt discussion, creative thinking, mindful engagement, and collaborative meaning-making. The in-depth art-viewing experience is followed by an informal social time.
