The four elements inspire. Which element makes you want to create, and in what place are you most creative?

Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. In this new 8-week art series, explore how the four elements–earth, air, fire, and water–are present in and influence contemporary art.

Drawing inspiration from Land and Sea: Selections from the Collection, as well as other artworks from our permanent collection, consider how the four elements connect to themes present in artists' work and reflect on how the elements influence artistic expression.

Then, create art inspired by the elements and reflect on how place influences what we create and how we create it.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced, these workshops offer a fun and supportive space to explore new creative possibilities! Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Registration gives participants access to the full series (eight workshops).
