How will the virtual platforms work?

There are 3 main ways to engage directly with our artists virtually this year during our open studio events November 12th-15th and November 19th -22nd by checking out their Virtual Studio Tour, by checking out their Livestream or by reaching out to them via our Live Chat. Artists who are participating virtually will have links to these virtual platforms directly from their individual artists pages. 

 

We are offering additional virtual programming, which includes artists’ demonstrations, workshops, our Talking Art series, and our Moving Art virtual exhibit, during our Virtual Preview Week November 2nd-9th and during the open studio events,. All events listings can be found on our Events page (link).
