Workshops

Seniors Social: Moments in Modernism

Tuesday, June 11, 1 pm
The Dr. Anne Tanenbaum Gallery School

Make new artistic connections and spark conversations. Join us for our Seniors Social: an engaging monthly workshop series for older adults. Dive into meaningful conversations weaved with art exploration and creation. At the AGO, we believe that engaging with art and expressing creativity enhances well-being. Join the conversation and let art be your guide! 

Participants will venture through a guided tour looking at key modernist works in the AGO's permanent collection in the lead up to the opening of Moments in Modernism. The tour will be followed by a creative session in the gallery school. Together, we’ll explore major themes embraced by modern artists worldwide. We’ll engage in discussions on training, observations, technologies, and cultural climates that led to the birth of  modern art forms like Pop Art, Abstraction, Realism, and Minimalism. In the studio, we'll use a variety of media, textural tools and techniques to create collages that capture the essence of our subjects—an approach embraced by so many modern artists.

Participants are welcome to bring a few collage (paper) materials.
