 |  | The days are getting cooler, which means there’s no better time to come in from the chill to delve into one of the many focused workshops and gallery talks on offer this month. Join curator Sarah Laursen for a closer look at artworks in the exhibition Objects of Addiction: Opium, Empire, and the Chinese Art Trade on Wednesday, October 18. Come back that evening for a discussion with Bosco Sodi about his sculpture installation and artistic practice—or if you prefer to stay home, you can join the livestream! At the end of the month, take part in an interactive workshop on the evolution of hip-hop, with artist and singer Jazzmyn RED.
And don’t forget to mark your calendars and reserve your spot for the October Harvard Art Museums at Night. Enjoy an evening of art, fun, autumn-themed treats, and more! |
