Guests will be invited to awaken to their senses looking at their surroundings as if a piece of art. Connecting with what is seen through the eyes and what is felt in the body. Immersive in nature, participants will take a polaroid photo of something they see that inspires the feeling of Awe and present it to the group at the conclusion of the session as a piece of art and as a souvenir to bring home.
This program takes place entirely outside—we will be walking around the exterior of the museum, and Grounds. Please dress appropriately for the weather. In the event of extreme inclement weather, we may have to postpone.
Free of charge but registration is required and space is limited.
