Writing Explorations Inspired by Vija Celmins
Writing Explorations is a series of group workshops inspired by the AGO Collection or special exhibitions, guided by an artist-instructor. Learn to express yourself in written and visual form, building on the personal experiences and narrative strategies of great artists. Each month you’ll visit a new location in the Gallery to see a new selection of artwork.

Exclusive: Vija Celmins: To Fix the Image in Memory
One of today’s leading artists, Vija Celmins seeks to understand the limits of human experience through her paintings and drawings. The ocean, desert, and night sky are subjects that appear repeatedly in her work – rendered in muted tones and exploring the uninhabitable and an unbounded beauty.
