As we get deeper into summer, our curators and curatorial fellows are sharing works of modern and contemporary art to mark the season. Take in sites from the Rocky Mountains to New York City, from the Belgian seaside to the Baltic Coast, and lose yourself in works that imagine summer as a time of light, color, and the outdoors.

We are also excited to be continuing our Art Study Center Seminars from Home throughout the season. Next up, on July 24, join us to explore the history and making of silhouette portraiture, including works by contemporary artist Kara Walker.

Please welcome Sarah Laursen, the new Alan J. Dworsky Associate Curator of Chinese Art. We’re excited to have her join the team!

Thanks again for all your engagement and support, particularly over the last few months.
