As the New England evenings grow cooler, our online programs are warming up and are available to you from the comfort of your home. Check out our new online series that investigates power dynamics in artworks across the collections. In these programs, you can look at how art can be used to upset systems of power and imagine more equitable futures. On Thursday, November 5, learn how to make a political statement using found materials. It’s free and open to everyone.

In the meantime—Stay Strong. Stay Well. Stay Tuned.
